Welcome Shivam,

Thank you for your interest in Octave.  This thread seems more suited
for the maintainers than help mailing list.  Your text does not convince
me that you have a clear idea of this project [1].  More like a weird
summary of [1].  Please regard the following points:

- Nothing should be "implemented on Matlab".  Matlab is not required for
this GSoC.  GNU Octave exists as a free Matlab compatible alternative.
In this GSoC Octave should become even better.

- The Octave and Matlab language have some feature called
"classdef"-classes [2].  Please read a bit to get an idea what the wiki
is dealing with.

Best,
Kai
