What do you want to rex out?

It's JSON - and should be coming at least mostly preparsed into Splunk

Are you sure something like the following won't work:

index=schoolindex sourcetype=dev studentInfo.subjects{}=*
| stats values(studentInfo.subjects) by studentInfo.id

Yes, I tried similar way but it's getting no results(but results are there I tried "index= schoolindex sourcetype=dev jobId=8e62-71c72ccb3aec studentInfo" and getting data):

index= schoolindex sourcetype=dev jobId=8e62-71c72ccb3aec studentInfo. subjects{}=*
| stats values(studentInfo. subjects) by studentInfo.id
