Hello Shriti Arora and welcome to you and your team members.
Manish and Raghuram both have written quite good information; I'll just
add a few things in-line below.

Dear Sir/Ma'am
I am Shriti Arora , an engineering student majoring in Computer Science
from India.
My team members and I are deeply interested in contributing in the open
source of Phpmyadmin.
We always welcome new contributors and enjoy getting pull requests.
As novice open source developers, we'd like to
know how can we
contribute to Phpmyadmin so that it aids in your growth as well as our
learning experience. Having gone through similar projects, We have the
following idea:
While working on this project our main focus would be fixing issues that
come up daily along with contributing in the code for the upcoming
future features.
As you can see in the issue tracker[1], there are many issues that come
in and simply haven't been properly confirmed and tested or haven't yet
been fixed.
You and your team are welcome to jump in and begin looking through to
see if there's any issue that catches your attention. For some bigger
issues, we recommend discussing them first (on this mailing list or in
the tracker itself) in case there is some implementation detail that
needs to be decided.
There's a wiki with some pages that might be helpful[2] and the issue
tracker has some 'newbie' issues tagged[3] which are recommended for new
contributors.
We have taken this as a college project , which would
be graded at the
end of the semester.
How would you be graded on this; would the professor ask for anything
from the phpMyAdmin team or simply follow your work and code
contributions through the semester?
Your assistance in this matter is highly
appreciated.Looking forward to
hearing from you
Regards,
Shriti Arora
Thanks for your interest and best wishes,
Isaac
