• @Manjeet Singh, Welcome and nice to meet you. Ah, let me see. (1) A year ago I start playing with AD8232 ECG and found it a good educational toy to learn Rpi, ADC etc. I learn other things such as how to reduce noise etc. My old post is a bit out out dae, because I recommended to use AdaFruit Circuit Python. Perhaps I can take this opportunity to update my answer. – tlfong01 49 mins ago   
• @Manjeet Singh, You might like to let me know more about you background, knowledge and skills. For example, (1) Do you know Ohm’s Law, how to use a multi-meter? (2) Do you know how to use Arduino to blink a LED, and its on board 10-bit ADC to convert any analog signals? (3) Do your school/college have any oscilloscope to display ECG signals? – tlfong01 41 mins ago   
• @Manjeet Singh, (1) Since your Rpi project spec is on python, I would recommend you to start off getting familiar with Rpi OS buster GUIThonny python IDE v3.3.0+. (2) You might like to write toy programs such as blinking a LED. Please feel free to make comments or counter suggestions. I would hold my answer for you to catch up. It would be nice if you can report your project project in your school/college project blog or website. Cheers. – tlfong01 39 secs ago   Edit

Introduction

My first getting started test is measure my own heart’s beating rate.
