This is my view where i am binding data

 <label class="concentration-label3" ng-repeat="value in subjects">
        <input ng-model="value.selected" ng-disabled="subjectCheckedCount == subjectLimit && !value.selected" type="checkbox" name="concentrations" class="concentration-label3__input js-concentration-value" value="{{value}}" data-mixpanel-subject="Design" >
        <span class="concentration-label3__title" for="conc1">
            {{value}}
            <span class="concentration-label3__title__checkmark4"></span>
        </span>

subjects is an array of strings, which don't have the property selected that you're trying to bind to your input.

So what should i do with subject to make it have property selected? – Abdul Moiz Sep 11 '16 at 15:36
    
You could either just add a property to $scope like selectedValue or you could turn subjects into objects, i.e. subjects = [{ value: "Computer Science", selected: false }, ... – spongessuck Sep 11 '16 at 15:39
    
Thanks did the second one. – Abdul Moiz Sep 11 '16 at 17:37

for(var j = 0; j < $scope.subjects.length; j++){
    $scope.subjectsArray.push({
        'name':  $scope.subjects[j],
        'value': $scope.subjects[j]
    });   
}

We must provide ng-repeat an object in order to create any property of that object later. We cannot create a property of a string. So I converted my array of string into array of objects.
