It looks like you're missing the assignment operator ("="). And the instructions asked for the first value to be an empty string (''), but this code has 'ankit' instead. And check the syntax and parentheses pairing on the "print".

student = {'name' : '','topic' : 'python'}

print(student('name','topic')

still syntax error

Yes, the "print" is still not correct. Can you provide a link to the course page so we can see the full instructions?
