From your code, you are taking array of arrays, instead you should take array of strings,

So, change

f.input :reg_fee, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => RegChargeSetup.all.map{|v| ["#{v.reg_fee}"]}

to,

f.input :reg_fee, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => RegChargeSetup.all.map{|v| "#{v.reg_fee}"}



form do |f|
       f.inputs do
       f.input :name, label: "Student Name"
       f.input :dob,:label => "Date of Birth"
       f.input :age,:label => "Age"
       f.input :gender, as: :radio, :label => "Gender", :collection => [ "Male", "Female"] 
       f.input :reg_fee, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => RegChargeSetup.all.map{|v| "#{v.reg_fee}"}
    end
    f.actions
end
