 if(choice == 1){

       cout<<"input Name"<<endl;
       cin>>inputName;


       bool exist = false;
      for (int i=0; i<100; ++i) {
      if (name[i] != "" && name[i]== inputName) {
      exist = true;
      break;
      }
  }
     if (!exist) {
        bool added = false;
        for (int i=0; i<name.length(); ++i) {
        if (name[i] == "" && name[i] != inputName){

        
		 student st;
         st.setName(inputName);

        }
        }


        if (added) {
	cout<<"New Record ("<<inputName<<") Added sucessfully"<<endl;

i'm not sure exactly but I don't think you have declare 'Name' as a variable prior to using it here: -
if (Name[i] != "" && Name[i]== inputName)

You should really re-read about classes:

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/classes/

especially the "complete example of class CRectangle". Rather than a set_values method you'll need a GetName method.

That maybe a decent starting place.

edit: and create your student near the top of your while loop.

sorry actually that is "name"
it's mistake of my typing when i post the question : )

It looks a bit strange to see a "student" class which has an array of 100 names.
It might be better to give the student a single name, and then have an array of students instead.
