first of all you havre to create the form view like below....        

<record id="myfirst_form_view" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">scholar.details.form</field>
            <field name="model">scholar.details</field> ------>this is the model name(class name)
            <field name="type">form</field>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <form string="student.details" version="7.0">
                    <sheet string="student">
                        <h1>
                            <label string="Add Scholar Details"/>
                        </h1>
                        <group string="My First Form View">
                            <field name="name"/>
                            <field name="age"/>
                            <field name="dob"/>
                            <field name="stream_id"/>
                            <field name="status"/>
                        </group>
                        <field name="subject_id"/>
                    </sheet>
                </form>
            </field>
        </record>

then you have to create action view like...

        <record id="action_scholar_details" model="ir.actions.act_window">
            <field name="name">My First Action</field>
            <field name="res_model">scholar.details</field>
            <field name="view_type">form</field>
            <field name="view_mode">tree,form</field> ----> here we provide for both tree and form view , while tree view will come erlier
            <field name="help" type="html">
                <p class="oe_view_nocontent_create">
                    test
                </p><p>
                    Description goes Here.
                </p>
            </field>
        </record>

and finally you have to create the menu item like..

        <menuitem id="menu_base_scholar" name="Scholar"/>
        <menuitem id="menu_section_scholar" parent="menu_base_scholar" name="Scholar_Record"/>
        <menuitem id="menu_item_scholar" parent="menu_section_scholar" name="Record Codes" action="action_scholar_details"/>

if this will work then its fine else you have to create and add tree view also (you can add this one before or after the form view)

        <record id="myfirst_tree_view" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">scholar.details.tree</field>
            <field name="model">scholar.details</field>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <tree string="My First Tree View">
                    <field name="name"/>
                    <field name="age"/>
                    <field name="dob"/>
                    <field name="subject_id"/>
                    <field name="stream_id"/>
                    <field name="status"/>
                </tree>
            </field>
        </record>

I think this will surely help you in creating your own view.
