That would be two different rows you're checking.
If you want your query to reference two different rows in the same table you need to have two instances of the table in your FROM clause.
i.e.
FROM student s1, student s2


See if you can work out the rest from here.

He wants to get results if both rows exist and nothing otherwise.
Your query will give results if either exist.
