Updated thanks for your referance @GovindPrajapati i have to make little changes add @Field and it is working for me.

@FormUrlEncoded
    @HTTP(method = "DELETE", path = "student",hasBody = true)
    Call<ResponseBody> deleteStudent(@Field("firstname") String firstname, @Field("lastname") String lastname);

You may miss the "/" in base URL

String baseURL= "http//www.example.com/"

http//www.example.com - This will not work in your case

I think You should set your service url @DELETE("here") like "http.example.com/api/login".

@FormUrlEncoded
@HTTP(method = "DELETE", path = "student/{firstname}/{lastname}")
Call<ResponseBody> deleteStudent(@Field("firstname") String firstname, @Field("lastname") String lastname);

if above is not working then try this

@FormUrlEncoded
@HTTP(method = "DELETE", path = "student/{firstname}/{lastname}",hasBody = true)
Call<ResponseBody> deleteStudent(@Field("firstname") String firstname, @Field("lastname") String lastname);

Or you can refer this answer as well How to send a HTTP-delete with a body in retrofit?

According to postman @FormUrlEncoded method not allowed because data is sent to api in the form of form-data so please use

@Multipart
@DELETE("/student")
Call<MemberListResponse> deleteStudent(@Part ("firstname") RequestBody first_name,
                                   @Part ("lastname") RequestBody last_name);

And here how to get requestBody from String.

 String somevalue = "somevalue";
    RequestBody FirstName= RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("text/plain"), somevalue);

String somevalue1 = "somevalue";
    RequestBody LastName= RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("text/plain"), somevalue1);

Call<ResponseBody> call = interfaces.deleteStudent(FirstName,LastName);
