I want to find ranking or position for my students in a class. So do i do
that in excell.

One way is to use RANK (Check up this function in Excel's Help)

Briefly, to get you going ...

Assume your student scores are listed in B2:B10

Place in C2: =RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$10)
Copy C2 down to C10
This returns a descending order rank,
ie highest score will be given a rank = 1

Place in D2: =RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$10,1)
Copy D2 down to D10.
This returns an ascending order rank,
viz lowest score will be given a rank = 1

Duplicate scores (if any) will be given the same rank
