First of all thanks for the login and password for the server. )
You should erase them before attaching file.
So,
String connectionURL = “jdbc:mysql://mail.dcg.net.in:3306/student”;
Are You sure that mail.dcg.net.in allows communication on port 3306 ? (Is firewall set to allow both incoming and outgoing data ? Is mysql set to communicate with outside world ? )

Maybe there is an exception:
try {// database manipulationcatch( Exception e ) { e.printStackTrace(); // or System.out.print(e);}
Check output console after running that file.
