Answer 1

You should output the value of form.errors as suggested in the comments to discover the exact error. However, I can see two immediate issues that are likely causing form validation to fail.
Firstly, because your form contains an image upload you must set the enctype to multipart/form-data in the template:
<form action="{% url 'students:add_student' %}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Second, the uploaded image exists in request.FILES so you need to pass that to the form:
form = AddStudentForm(request.POST, request.FILES)

Answer 2

You have to save many to many field after save method.
if form.is_valid():
student = form.save(commit=False)
student.save()
form.save_m2m()
