Answer 1

See the manual—REPAIR TABLE is only applicable to MyISAM, ARCHIVE and CSV storage engines.

With InnoDB you don't need this anyway, as the storage engine can't go into an inconsistent state unlike MyISAM and others.

Answer 2

I think you should try mysql repair tool . . . it's a great tool that can repair any type of mysql data or table containing any data. and i am sure that it will definetely repair the table using the query repair table tbl_college_master.
