Proposal: Add Mentor–Mentee matching improvements — Mentor/Mentee matching enhancements #565
Description
Describe the bug
Summary
I want to propose the mentor–mentee matching feature improvement that I previously implemented. My earlier PR was closed because it did not have an associated Issue or discussion. I am now submitting it properly.
Why this feature is useful
- When a student selects multiple subjects (example: DSA + DBMS), only one mentor gets assigned.
- This causes incorrect mentor assignments.
- Improved matching will assign one mentor per subject, reducing confusion and improving user experience.
Proposed Implementation
- Update mentorship matching API to return one mentor per selected subject.
- Update mentee request API to accept subjects as a list/array.
- Add backend logic to select the highest-priority mentor per subject.
- Add tests for multi-subject matching.
- No breaking changes for single-subject requests.
What I will do after approval
If maintainers approve, I will implement the updated logic on a feature branch and open a new PR that references this Issue.
Additional Notes
My previous PR (which was closed):
To Reproduce
This is not a bug, so there are no reproduction steps.
I am using the bug-report template to submit a feature proposal because the repository does not include a Feature Request template.
Reproduction steps do not apply here.
Expected behavior
Expected behavior is the acceptance and discussion of the proposed feature:
- Students who select multiple subjects should get matched to one mentor per subject.
- The mentor–mentee matching logic should support multi-subject assignments.
- Maintainers can review this proposal and decide whether it fits project direction.
This field is required by the bug-report template, so I am using it to describe the intended outcome of the feature proposal.
