Given that the number of rows is equal to the number of columns.    i.e., in the form of x^2  

So the number of students that can stand in this order will be the perfect square number just less than 500.

We know that              22^2 = 484      and      23^2 = 529

So the number of students that would be left out in this arrangement = 500 - 484 = 16 students.
