So you want only your admin to view the library? If that is the case, break the inheritance within the library and explicitly assign permission to the admin. This will solve your problem.

Solution 1

Solution 1:

Create an event receiver on ItemAdded, so whenever a student uploads a document, the event receiver fires and breaks the inheritance and assigns explicit permission to the student. That ways you can assign permission to items to whosoever you want to. For code to implement this you can follow
http://blog.sharepointclick.com/2013/04/programatically-breaking-inheritance.html

Solution 2:

1.Create a view within the document library with a filter Show items where created by is [Me]
2.Set default view to this view within the document library and remove all other views
3.Control permissions in such a way that the students cannot change views so they will only see the documents that they have uploaded

Hope this helps. Let me know if that resolves your problem or we can think of some other solution.

but the problem is about maintenance of that project my friend if a student moved fron one school/college/university to another one then how would we update all permissions to see document uploaded by that student to watch his/her all documents uploaded for all particular school/colleg/univer. and if we have 100s of schools , colleges/ unive then don't you think that will be so tough task for maintenance and also would load all site of sharepoint.

If that's the case, please explain your scenario properly so as someone can provide you an apt solution. Does each school/college have their own site collection? Explain your situation in a bit more details.

thanks for reply okay the scenario is:
In our old version, we have document list collections of each schools, colleges and universities
and whenever a student login to our site then he was able to see his uploaded documents in each schools/college/university list collections and there he has to search his uploaded documents in every institute where he belonged and there documents submitted by other users related to that institute also showing him/her and that was implemented by active directory but now we are going to move on forms based authentications so each user can login to our site and when he login we would show all documents uploaded by him/her in a single document list collection containing all institutes document(School,college,univ) where he just can see documents uploaded no content operations should be able for him/her like edit, upload, delete or other else just can view datagrid of document list while site admin can view all users documents and perform all sort of operations as well. Thanks in advanced

You can write a custom webpart in such case and fetch documents from all the college/school websites which the user has uploaded and display the list to the user in a grid. Here is the sample code:
