Hi Dandy,
It is doable but i will need the following info:-

1. How do you determine if a logged in user is a student?
2. Can a student be part of multiple groups or just one group?

Thank you
Brajesh

Hi Dandy,
Please put the following code in your bp-custom.php

/**
 * Limit BP profile search plugin to user who are members of the current user's group
 * @param $users
 *
 * @return array
 */
function buddydev_limit_users_search_to_group_members( $users ) {
	// Do not check for non logged in or the site admin.
	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() || is_super_admin() ) {
		return $users;
	}

	$logged_id = get_current_user_id();
	$groups = groups_get_user_groups( $logged_id );
	// If the user does not belong to any group, the result should be empty.
	if ( empty( $groups['groups'] ) ) {
		//this user does not belong to any group
		$users = array();//array( 0, 0 ); // Limit to invalid user.
		return $users;
	}

	// if we are here, the user has some groups, let us find out the members of those groups.
	global $wpdb;
	$bp = buddypress();

	$list = '(' . join( ',', $groups['groups'] ) . ')';

	$member_ids =  $wpdb->get_col( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT user_id FROM {$bp->groups->table_name_members} WHERE group_id IN {$list} AND is_confirmed = 1 AND is_banned = 0 AND user_id != %d",$logged_id ) );

	if ( ! empty( $member_ids ) ) {
		$users = array_intersect( $users, $member_ids ); // set intersection.
	} else {
		$users = array();
	}

	return $users;
}
add_filter( 'bps_filter_members', 'buddydev_limit_users_search_to_group_members' );

It will limit the BP profile search to only look for the Group members.
Thank you
