Hi Vijay,
For clarity you can design the form to be divided into different sections like personal details, educational qualifications, etc. Now whether you'll physically separate the data in the form at the approval levels depends on whether the same person(approver) should check all the details or need to see all the details. If all the approvers need to see all the details the student fill up in form then keep it as a single form data at the approval steps as well. Otherwise uing parameter mapping you can separate the data into multiple forms and then assign those to different actions(approval steps). If you know the number of approvers at design time and if the approval steps are fixed then you can use sequential blocks and under that assign the approval actions. Otherwise if the number of approval steps are not fixed or you don't know it at design time then you can use per-conditional loop block/post-conditional loop block (if the approval steps are sequential) or parallel block/parallel dynamic block if the approval steps are simultaneous.
You can get lots of documentation and tutorials on each one of these in the CAF Tutorial Center @ SDN.
