I want to display subjectid as column headings and paper names as rows.

Answer 1

You could try a query like the following one if classid does not matter.

SELECT [English], [Hindi],[Telugu],[Drawing]
FROM 
(
   SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY SubjectId ORDER BY PaperName) AS rownum, SubjectId, PaperName 
   FROM T
   GROUP BY SubjectId, PaperName 
)AS base
PIVOT
( MAX(PaperName) FOR SubjectId IN ([English], [Hindi],[Telugu],[Drawing])) AS pvt;
