C project on student registration using linked list

In this project you will learn how to save student information using linked list, create a new node, link all node to each other, traverse all nodes, delete all of the nodes. Also, we will create menu based project which ask for the user's choice. Users are can copy the code and modify according to their requirement. This project was compiled on Linux using gcc compiler. Please check the attached video for each step.
