As ApplicationUser is inherited from IdentityUser, remove it from your DbContext class. On the other hand, there is no need to create an abstract class (you can create if you prevent from creating a user except from Student or Employee classes. For more information you might have a look at Table-per-Hierarchy.

For Register part, try something like that:

Student user = new Student
{
    UserName = model.UserName,
    FirstName = model.FirstName,
    LastName = model.LastName,
    Email = model.Email
};
var result = UserManager.Create(user, model.Password);

Hope this helps...
