Tell us what you are trying to do : Display no of results returned by view in content template after all filters have applied.
I have tried [wpv-found-count] , But it is working inside view. I want to display it in content template.
I have tried creating shortcode as well but it is giving results without applying filter.

function get_students_count()
{
    $filtered_posts = get_view_query_results(258);
    return count($filtered_posts);
}
add_shortcode( 'wpv-students-count', 'get_students_count' );

Can you share a screenshot of this View editor in wp-admin? I would like to see how the Query filter is configured. Please also tell me about the Content Template where you want to display this information. Is it the template for a CPT?

Yes, Please check attached screenshot.
Content template is not for any CPT.

I see, the View's query filter is configured to respond to a shortcode attribute, "wpvprchildof". If you want the filter to be applied, you must include the wpvprchildof attribute as an argument in the get_view_query_results function call. The 4th parameter accepts an array of arguments. To make the parent post ID dynamic, you probably need to pass it into the wpv-students-count shortcode as an attribute. Something like this:

function get_students_count( $atts )
{
    $atts = shortcode_atts( [
      'wpvprchildof' => 0
    ], $atts );
    $args = array( 'wpvprchildof'=> $atts['wpvprchildof'] );
    $filtered_posts = get_view_query_results(258, null, null, $args);
    return count($filtered_posts);
}
add_shortcode( 'wpv-students-count', 'get_students_count' );

Then use the shortcode like this:

[wpv-students-count wpvprchildof='[wpv-post-id]'][/wpv-students-count]

Obviously this only works if wpv-post-id represents the parent post's ID here. If it does not, then you must replace the wpv-post-id shortcode with something else that represents the parent post's ID.

I have one more filter with this, which is Exclude posts with IDs set by the View shortcode attribute "ids" eg. [wpv-view name="view-name" ids="1"]. what I need to add in above code you gave?
