What am I doing wrong?

Override init in Student. Give init a name keyword argument with a default value of your choice. Set self.name equal to the name argument.

student.py 
class Student:
  name = 'Thevaa'

  def __int__ (self, **kwargs):
    self.name = kwargs.get(name, 'Thevaa')

There is an i missing from init :

class Student:
  name = 'Thevaa'

  def __init__ (self, name='Thevaa'):
    self.name = name
