Answer 2

Use this, assuming you are using razor views:

@using (Ajax.BeginForm(new AjaxOptions(){
HttpMethod = "POST",
    Url = "your controller",
    OnComplete = "some client event"
})
{
    <fieldset>
        <legend>This is a demo form.</legend>
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Name)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name)

        <input type="submit" value="Save" />
    </fieldset>
}

Answer 3

Well it would look something like (that's without looking at your view bindings):

// serialize your form into JSON - maybe you have a different method of doing it
var serializedForm = $("#YourFormId").serialize();

// post it to the server
$.post("/student/create", serializedForm)
    .done(function (response) { 
       // it's done
    })
    .fail(function (xhr, status, error) { 
       // something bad happened
    });
