Data model seems to be (partially) wrong - STUDENT table should have the CID column, not CNAME; CID is then a foreign key constraint column:
SQL> create table class
  2    (cid    number(2) primary key,
  3     cname  varchar2(30)
  4    );

Table created.

SQL> create table student
  2    (stuid  number(3) primary key,
  3     name   varchar2(90),
  4     cid    number(2) references class (cid)   --> this
  5    );

Table created.

SQL> create table sub
  2    (subid  number primary key,
  3     cid    number(2) references class (cid),
  4     sno    number(2),
  5     subjj  varchar2(30)
  6    );

Table created.

SQL>
Furthermore, unless you create yet another table - which "connects" students and subjects - you can't do what you want. Where (and how) would you "assign" subjects to student?

SQL> create table student_x_sub
  2    (stuid  number(3) references student (stuid),
  3     subid  number    references sub (subid),
  4     constraint pk_sxs primary key (stuid, subid)
  5    );

Table created.

SQL>
Now it makes sense to select a student, then choose class (and every class has number of subjects) and "automatically" assign class' subjects to the student. How? I'd create a button and a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger which would then

insert into student_x_sub (stuid, subid)
select :BLOCK.STUID,
       s.subid
from sub s 
where s.cid = :BLOCK.CID;
