I want to update record in database by using WEB API Controller

// PUT api/Student/5
        [HttpPut]
        public HttpResponseMessage PutStudent(int id, [FromBody]Student student)
        {
        //body
        }

then how should I call this method using jquery ajax put method?

please check the url you are passing to ajax function is correct, i updated in my answer also but you can check at your end and also refer this article : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/424461/Implementing-Consuming-ASP-NET-WEB-API-from-JQuery

I got Internal Server Error 500 because of JSON.stringify(student)...
even the execution doesn't reach to my controllers method

you can try like this

var student = new Object();
student =
{
FirtName : 'John',
LastName : 'Smith'
};

$.ajax(
{
url: 'api/Student/PutStudent/' + id,
type: 'Put',
contentType : "application/json"
data: JSON.stringify(datasend),
dataType: "json",
success: function(result)
{
// Do something with the result
}
});
- type (default: 'GET')
  Type: String
  The type of request to make (e.g. "POST", "GET", "PUT"); default is "GET".
