Answer 1

Your array of student is not properly initialized. <n> is uninitialized (may contain garbage value), and thus the following lines doesn't make sense

int n; // uninitialized
student a[ n ];

Line 13
Add space after %d specifier
scanf( "%d ", &n );

Line 20:
Read input directly to 'name' field
fgets( a[i].name, 50, stdin );

Line 23:
Add space after the last %d specifier
scanf( "%d %d %d ", &a[i].d, &a[i].m, &a[i].y );

Line 25:
Add space after %f specifier
scanf( "%f ", &a[i].Mi );

Line 27:
Add space after %f specifier
scanf( "%f ", &a[i].Mm );

Line 29:
Add space after %f specifier
scanf( "%f ", &a[i].Me );

The space after a conversion specifier is meant to consume the line break character that are read after the input. The line break came from Enter key.

Okay how you give input? I got no problem running in Code Playground with the following input

1
Student #1
12 34 56
1.234
2.345
3.456

Answer 13

having "fgets(a[i].name,50,stdin);" but code doesn't give me input of "name".

Answer 14

I run the code with your input but output is:
"student 1:
Name:Date of birth:Mark of IT:Mark of maths:Mark of english:"

Answer 15

you try this :
1
tom maguire
12 34 56
1.234
2.345
3.456

Answer 16

I get the name, date of birth and marks correctly.

The "student 1:
Name:Date of birth:Mark of IT:Mark of maths:Mark of english:" are output from printf() calls inside the loop.
