I need to convert this into a hash table and later access the contents-> student's name and his quality for which 'x' is marked. any suggestions how should I do it?

The Synopsis of https://metacpan.org/pod/Spreadsheet::ParseExcel gives you an example.

How did that not help?

Or is it that Perl hashes are new to you? Read up on perlintro and expecially in the part about hashes in Variable types.

Once the first and second part are understood, you will find a third layer or dimension is needed. You have a multitude of ways to do that. I'd suggest you use a hash of hashes for that to start with.
