Student of the Year was released on 19 October 2012 in India and emerged as a commercial success at the box office.[http://boxofficeindia.com/boxnewsdetail.php?page=shownews&articleid=5038&nCat= Boxofficeindia.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121102181249/http://www.boxofficeindia.com/boxnewsdetail.php?page=shownews&articleid=5038&nCat= |date=2 November 2012 }}.

At the 58th Filmfare Awards, Student of the Year received 4 nominations including Best Male Debut (Malhotra and Dhawan) and Best Female Debut (Bhatt), and won the R. D.

A standalone sequel titled Student of the Year 2 was released on 10 May 2019 with Punit Malhotra as the director and Tiger Shroff, Tara Sutaria and Ananya Pandey in the lead roles.

Plot
At the esteemed St. Teresa's College, Rohan "Ro" Nanda is the handsome, rich, and popular younger son of its trustee, Ashok Nanda, an influential business tycoon. Ashok dislikes Ro’s passion for music and wants him to become a businessman like his elder son Ajay. Shanaya Singhania, a beautiful, rich, and popular girl at college, is Rohan’s girlfriend and feels dissatisfied with Ro's constant flirtations with her rival Tanya Israni. Abhimanyu "Abhi" Singh, a handsome new student from a middle-class family who idolizes Ashok, soon becomes the college's heartthrob. Abhi is an orphan whose grandmother is the only person he truly loves. He and Ro initially do not get along but soon become best friends after a football match. Ro introduces him to Shanaya, reminding him not to get involved with her, and Abhi maintains that he is uninterested. The trio eventually become close friends.
At Ajay's wedding, Shanaya sees Ro flirting with Tanya and feels betrayed. She openly flirts with Abhi, who tacitly hints her off to make Ro jealous. Abhi starts falling for Shanaya but keeps his feelings to himself. Back at the school, the annual Student of the Year competition commences under Dean Yogendra "Yogi" Vashisht. The game rounds are a quiz test, a treasure hunt and a dance battle. Shanaya slowly develops feelings for Abhi over the course of the competition. The trio passes the quiz test and treasure hunt, but before the dance battle, Abhi's grandmother becomes ill and dies. After comforting Abhi, Shanaya and Abhi kiss in a tender moment, which Ro witnesses. Ro & Abhi fight, resulting in a fallout between him, Abhi, and Shanaya. Following an intense confrontation regarding his future with Ashok back home, Ro becomes determined to win the competition. Shanaya and her best friend Shruti Pathak fall out over the competition, much like Ro and his longtime friend Jeet Khurana after Jeet asks Shanaya to be his dance partner. Shanaya, conflicted by her feelings, leaves in the middle of the dance battle and gets eliminated, while Ro and Abhi proceed to the final round.
The final round of the competition is a triathlon consisting of swimming, cycling and long-distance running. Abhi, in the lead, slows down during the end after realizing how important the competition is for Ro, resulting in Ro winning the competition. However, Ro declines to accept the award, citing personal reasons. After Ro steps down, Yogi is heavily criticised by Ro and Abhi’s mutual friend Kaizad "Sudo" Sodabottleopenerwala, who rants about how the entire concept of the Student of the Year competition has always been rigged. He claims the competition broke their friendship of two years and was unfair to people like him, who were not as popular and attractive as Abhi or Ro. This causes Yogi to retire eventually. The students soon graduate and lose contact with each other.
Ten years later, Yogi, terminally ill and on his deathbed, requests to see the students from his last batch. Some arrive to meet him, along with former coach Karan Shah, and hold themselves responsible for the lively Dean's falling ill. Ro is now a rock musician, and Abhi is now an investment banker married to Shanaya. They run into each other when they visit Yogi; in an argument which initially starts off over their shared history and conduct with Shanaya, the two begin releasing the anger they have held back for the last ten years. Ro ultimately reveals he is greatly pissed off at what he considers an intentional move on Abhi's part to lose the triathlon; he reveals that he intentionally allowed him to win after noticing Ashok was happy to see his son losing, and it was his way of surpassing Ashok in stature. While bickering, they end up in a friendly banter, much like in college, and finally reconcile, rekindling their friendship. Yogi apologises to his former students and dies at peace. Rohan and Abhi have a friendly running race on the same college field, which they ran during the competition.

Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave 4/5 stars and wrote "Student of the Year is a love story that traverses the trodden path. But KJo is an artisan with intellect and taste and he ensures that the script is spruced up and modernized with such elan that it doesn't offend the spectator's wisdom or intelligence." He added, "This is an escapist cinema at its best! [...] This one's entertainment, entertainment, and entertainment at its best." Komal Nahta also gave 4/5 stars and called it a "supremely-entertaining" film.{{cite web |last1=Nahta |first1=Komal |title=STUDENT OF THE YEAR Review |url=http://komalsreviews.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/student-of-the-year-review/ |website=Komal Nahta's Blog |publisher=Komal Nahta |access-date=14 September 2021 |language=en |date=19 October 2012 |archive-date=6 January 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140106031426/http://komalsreviews.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/student-of-the-year-review/ |url-status=live }}

Anupama Chopra of Hindustan Times gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Karan Johar's forte is excess.
