I assume you don't have a PHP entry point, e.g. an index.php file that will allow you to define a helper functions file for all requests? So, in that case, relatively referencing the database connection script would be handled like this:

// project/forms/student/create.php
<?php
require(__DIR__ . '/../../dbConnection.php');

@Shivamyadav always use absolute urls for assets

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css">
