How can I access the 'Entry' string in another function?

Make `w` an attribute of the object.  When you create the widget in
`second()` you just bind it to the local name `w` instead of `self.w`.
You made a similar mistake when printing `senter` in `third()`.  This
time it's the other way around: you are trying to print a non-existing
local `senter` instead of `self.senter`.  This works:

import Tkinter as tk

class MyClass:
    senter = 'arvind'

    def third(self):
        self.senter = self.w.get()
        print self.senter

    def second(self):
        top = tk.Tk()
        top.title('second')
        frame = tk.Frame(top)

        self.w = tk.Entry(top)

        b1 = tk.Button(top, text='Next', command=self.third)

        self.w.grid()
        b1.grid()
        frame.grid()
        
        top.mainloop()

a = MyClass()
a.second()
