int N = 0;
    cout<<"Enter the number of students to be created"<<endl;
    cin>>N;

// the ** makes the array of pointer not array of objects
Student **pointerArray;

// crerate all the Pointer
pointerArray = new (Student*)[N];

// create all the objects
for (int i=0; i< N; i++)
{
pointerArray[i] = new Student(i);
}

As for the student info in the loop. I don't think you need new Student(i), you need new Student(info), where info is the student info you asked the user to enter in the loop.

Not sure what you mean, the (i) in the loop is the counter.

my compiler keeps highlighting - Student **pointerArray;
Not sure whats wrong with it?

What error does it return?

\main.cpp conflicting declaration 'Student**studentObject'

That looks to me like a double initialization. Why are you reinitializing Student?

I have fixed that, the current error is
\main.cpp array bound forbidden after parenthesized type-id
