Dear Mahesh Staff and Student are totally two different category, Staff is for the library professional staff who has different rights like issue, return, cataloguing of books, journals, CD, etc.
Whereas Student will be like any other library users. Student can see their account to see how many books issues, fine status, any special notice, checkout history (if configured), contact details, etc. It always recommended to provide username and password to library users (students, faculty, outside members). This will library users to see all records related to them, instead of coming to the circulation staff and disturbing the circulation staff. Circulation staff can use this time for some productive work like study of shelves, understanding the collection, usage patterns, etc. You can provide username and password for student to access their account. Generally username is the Library ID and password is students' first name. Revert for any clarifications or help.

Just set up a borrower with a user name and password and they can login to check their status. They don't need to login to search, unless you change OpacPublic preference.
