Best Answer

you can do this by magento event Observer and find a trigger an observer on customer save events and change customer group accordingly.

You can try with this two Event

customer_save_before
customer_save_after

First of all ,i guess that you have already create customer groups Student,Guest from Admin>Customers>Customer group.

Find details on event and observer here

Model Approach

Step1: trigger an event on basic of customer_save_before

<global>
    <events>
        <customer_save_after>
            <observers>
                <change_customer_group>
                    <type>singleton</type>
                    <class>magento63798/observer</class>
                    <method>ChangeCustomerGroup</method>
                </change_customer_group>
            </observers>
        </customer_save_after>
    </events>
</global>

Step2: Magento Observer Code is below and guess that guest custome group id is 2,Student is 5.

<?php
class Stackexchange_Magento63798_Model_Observer
{
    public function ChangeCustomerGroup(Varien_Event_Observer $observer){

        $customer=$observer->getEvent()->getCustomer();
        Mage::log('My log entry'.$customer->getId(), null, 'Magento63798.log');

        $StudentGroup=5;
        $GuestGroupId=2;
        list($user, $domain) = explode('@',$customer->getEmail());

        if ($domain == 'gmail.com'):
            /* set Customer group as Stiudent */
            $customer->setData('group_id',$StudentGroup);   
        // use gmail
        else:
            $customer->setData('group_id',$GuestGroupId);   
        endif;


    }

Programmatically Assign Customer Group for Category Product Order

You don't make it clear at what point you want to do this in the process, but you should be able to do something like the following:

// array of special products
$products = array(1,2,3,4);
// flag
$changeGroup = false;
// group to move customer to
$groupId = 1234;

$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')-loadByEmail($email);

$orders = Mage::getResourceModel('sales/order_collection')
->addFieldToSelect('*')
->addFieldToFilter('customer_id', $customer->getId())
->addAttributeToFilter('state', array('neq' => Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_CANCELED));

foreach ($order->getAllItems() as $orderItem) {
    if (in_array($orderItem->getProductId(), $products)) {
        $changeGroup = true;
    }
}

if ($changeGroup == true) {
    $customer->setGroupId($groupId);
    $customer->save();
}

Change Customer Group Upon Buying a Specific Product

You can do the following in your observer, using the sales_order_place_after event (will also work with multiple shipping):

public function changeGroup(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
    $order = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder();
    $customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->load($order->getCustomerId());

    // ensure it's not guest checkout
    if ($customer->getId()) {
        $items = $order->getAllVisibleItems();
        foreach ($items as $item) {
            $sku = $item->getSku();
            if ($sku == [whatever your sku is]) {
                $customer->setGroupId([whatever your new group ID is]);
                $customer->save();
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

Then change your config to this (replacing 'modulename' with your module name):

<events>
    <sales_order_place_after>
        <observers>
            <modulename_sales_place_order_after>
                <class>modulename/observer</class>
                <method>changeGroup</method>
            </modulename_scratch_sales_place_order_after>
        </observers>
    </sales_order_place_after>
</events>
