Student Record Management System

Overview

The Student Record Management System is a console-based application developed in C using a singly linked list. It allows users to efficiently manage student records by performing operations such as adding, deleting, modifying, displaying, sorting, saving, and loading student information.

The project demonstrates the practical implementation of linked lists, dynamic memory allocation, file handling, modular programming, and Makefile-based compilation.
