all of them are similar.Yesterday one of my client requested me to develop a site for educational
purpose.Requirements are student's can search result specificly by inputting required information
(i,e exam roll,name,id etc).I hadn't done this kind of work before and i am not very perfect in
php but i can work in wordpress.I had searched for free plugin but couldn't found one.

I would go with Drupal in this case. Great for intermediate complexity projects.
Of course, you could in theory go with Wordpress and find some relevant plugin which would save some functionality you are looking for. But the way Drupal modules (read plugins work) is that they are easier to customize for your specific needs.

In most cases the specific Drupal plugin would be described as "gives additional ajax upload field for use with Views module" instead of "Wordpress ajax uploader plugin with tons of useless, bulky features which makes your site slow as fuck".

It still may require some PHP programming, tweaking.

Basically this is how I look at development:
- Relatively simple projects with common features that doesn't require a lot of customization - go with WordPress
- More complex projects with custom solutions- go with Drupal.
- Complex projects with a lot of backend work (SaaS are typical) - requres development from scratch using libraries and frameworks.
