Read the FAQ. Use an array. Check for duplicates. Use some loops.
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Read the FAQ
There's an answer in there.

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

srand() seeds the pseudo random sequence, use rand() to deliver each successive number in the pseudo random sequence.

Mmm, 65 to 90 - you mean 'A' to 'Z' ?
char buff[26];
for ( i = 0, c = 'A' ; i < 26 ; i++, c++ ) buff[ i ] = c;
Or even
char buff[] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
That's the uniqueness bit sorted out.
Now shuffle them to produce a random order.
Do a board search, shuffling arrays was discussed quite recently
