Rollback transaction after @Test

Just add @Transactional annotation on top of your test:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)  
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {"testContext.xml"})
@Transactional
public class StudentSystemTest {

By default Spring will start a new transaction surrounding your test method and @Before/@After callbacks, rolling back at the end. It works by default, it’s enough to have some transaction manager in the context.

From: 10.3.5.4 Transaction management (bold mine):

In the TestContext framework, transactions are managed by the TransactionalTestExecutionListener. Note that TransactionalTestExecutionListener is configured by default, even if you do not explicitly declare @TestExecutionListeners on your test class. To enable support for transactions, however, you must provide a PlatformTransactionManager bean in the application context loaded by @ContextConfiguration semantics. In addition, you must declare @Transactional either at the class or method level for your tests.
