You can try this , it may help you. Assume your form is like this:

  Active
  active),TRUE); ?>  

Now you set your codeigniter controller like this:

// Set up the form
$rules = $this->student_m->rules;
$this->form_validation->set_rules($rules);

// Process the form
if ($this->form_validation->run() == TRUE) {
   $data = $this->student_m->array_from_post(array(
           'active',
           'name'
   ));

   // checking is checkbox is checked or not
   ($data['active'] == TRUE)?($data['active'] = 1) : ($data['active'] = 0);

   $this->student_m->save($data, $id);
   redirect('admin/student');
}
