Nesting array of objects in mongoose Schema

Question

I am creating a Student data schema in which a student contains marks of each sem. I want to create an array of sem in which the Sem_Schema must be the ref object. By using the Sem_Schema I want to create the sem Array of Sem_Schema Object. Please help.

var Student_Data_Schema = new mongoose.Schema({
name:{type:String,default:"Rahul Kandiboina", required: true},
reg_no:{type:String,default:"315175711057", required: true},
dob:{type:String,default:"july 3 1998"},
BG:{type:String,default:"o +ve", required: true},
ctg:{type:String,default:"B", required: true},
caste:{type:String,default:"BC", required: true},
EAMCET_Rank:{type:String,default:"29000", required: true},
ECET_Rank:{type:String,default:"123", required: true},
SSC_M:{type:String,default:"9.3", required: true},
Inter_M:{type:String,default:"960", required: true},
DEP_M:{type:String,default:"870", required: true},
BTECH_AGG:{type:String,default:"7.5", required: true},
GRE:{type:String,default:"60", required: true},
GATE:{type:String,default:"120", required: true},
CAT:{type:String,default:"10000", required: true},
TOEFL:{type:String,default:"100", required: true},
E_MAIL:{type:String,default:"[email protected]", required: 
true},
// Father :{},
// Mother :{},
// Bro :{},
// Sis :{},
Pre_Add :{
            D_no:{type:String},
            Street:{type:String},
            village:{type:String},
            town:{type:String},
            District:{type:String},
            State:{type:String},
            Pin:{type:String}
            },
Per_Add:{
    D_no:{type:String},
    Street:{type:String},
    village:{type:String},
    town:{type:String},
    District:{type:String},
    State:{type:String},
    Pin:{type:String}
},
Marks:{
    CGPA:{type:Number},
    B_LOGS:{type:Number},
    Sem :[Sem_Schema]
}
})



var Sem_Schema =  new mongoose.Schema({
SGPA :{type:String},
CGPA :{type:String},
B_Logs :{type:String},
Sem_Att :{type:String},
T_Sess :{type:String}
})

I want to nest Sem_Schema into Sem array but the error goes like

F:\Project\WEB\NewPro\NodeJs\node_modules\mongoose\lib\schema.js:398
throw new TypeError('Invalid value for schema Array path ' + prefix + key + ''); ^

declare your Sem_Schema before Student_Data_Schema like this. What happens here is when your refer this after your schema it doesn't know what is this Sem_schema is that's what causing this. so change the code to ,

var Sem_Schema =  new mongoose.Schema({
SGPA :{type:String},
CGPA :{type:String},
B_Logs :{type:String},
Sem_Att :{type:String},
T_Sess :{type:String}
})

// after this add the next schema

var Student_Data_Schema = new mongoose.Schema({
name:{type:String,default:"Rahul Kandiboina", required: true},
reg_no:{type:String,default:"315175711057", required: true},
dob:{type:String,default:"july 3 1998"},
BG:{type:String,default:"o +ve", required: true},
ctg:{type:String,default:"B", required: true},
caste:{type:String,default:"BC", required: true},
EAMCET_Rank:{type:String,default:"29000", required: true},
ECET_Rank:{type:String,default:"123", required: true},
SSC_M:{type:String,default:"9.3", required: true},
Inter_M:{type:String,default:"960", required: true},
DEP_M:{type:String,default:"870", required: true},
BTECH_AGG:{type:String,default:"7.5", required: true},
GRE:{type:String,default:"60", required: true},
GATE:{type:String,default:"120", required: true},
CAT:{type:String,default:"10000", required: true},
TOEFL:{type:String,default:"100", required: true},
E_MAIL:{type:String,default:"[email protected]", required: 
true},
// Father :{},
// Mother :{},
// Bro :{},
// Sis :{},
Pre_Add :{
            D_no:{type:String},
            Street:{type:String},
            village:{type:String},
            town:{type:String},
            District:{type:String},
            State:{type:String},
            Pin:{type:String}
            },
Per_Add:{
    D_no:{type:String},
    Street:{type:String},
    village:{type:String},
    town:{type:String},
    District:{type:String},
    State:{type:String},
    Pin:{type:String}
},
Marks:{
    CGPA:{type:Number},
    B_LOGS:{type:Number},
    Sem :[Sem_Schema]
}
})
