You have to use class instead of id for "student-details-ul" as it is supposed to be unique and it will always take the first one if there is more than one element having the same id. So you have to use a class instead:

<ul style="list-style: none;" >

and you have to change the selector to query the class as follow in the js part.(the "#" in your code was changed to ".") to query the class;

dataset.filter(function (index, item) {
    return $(item).find('td:nth-child(6) ul.student-details-ul li').text().split(',').indexOf(selection) == -1; }).hide();
});

It seems like you want to show the current selected element only. There is a better way: Attach a selectable identifier for each list items, just like id, or data-id these attributes. Then you can hide all of list items first, and find the element which needs to be shown directly by jQuery selector.

For your code, the repeated elements should never use id attributes. or else, you can just catch the first.
