After scanf include this line to remove the newline character remaining in stdin

fflush(stdin)

First of all stop using gets, use fgets instead -

fgets(ct1[i].name,sizeof ct1[i].name,stdin );

And after your scanf you can do this -

while((c=getchar())!=EOF && c!='\n');

declare c as int before for loop .

This is to remove '\n' from stdin which remains after scanf in each iteration and causes fgets to return .
