Answer 1

You are returning a JsonResult but doing as Http post (Html.BeginForm). If you want to use a full form post then return a ActionResult.

 public ActionResult Index()
        {
            // Add action logic here
            return View();
        }

Answer 2

you can call void controller

Answer 3

It makes no sense that you're returning a JsonResult from a HTML Post.

Do this instead.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Update(StudentInfo info)
{
  ///Update
  if (updateWorked)
    return View("Success", status);
}

You use JsonResult when you want to call a controller that returns JSON data, in order to display this data somewhere on your page.

A useful scenario for JsonResult in your scenario would be returning a json list of Students, executed from a click event maybe (call in JavaScript/jQuery).

Calling an action method on a HTTP Post which returns a JsonResult of a single string (not real JSON) makes no sense.
