Hope this will help you out. Here we are using just simple foreach to merge these two json's.

Try this code snippet here

<?php

$json1 = '{"course_code":"UGRC110","venue_id":22,"exam_date":"May 6, 2017","exam_time":"3:30 pm","student_no":400}';
$json2 = '{"course_code":"UGRC110","venue_id":25,"exam_date":"May 6, 2017","exam_time":"3:30 pm","student_no":700}';

json_merge($json1, $json2);
function json_merge($json1, $json2)
{
    $array1 = json_decode($json1, true);
    $array2 = json_decode($json2, true);
    $result = array();
    foreach ($array1 as $key => $value)
    {
        if ($array1[$key] == $array2[$key])
        {
            $result[$key] = $array2[$key];
        } else
        {
            $result[$key][] = $array1[$key];
            $result[$key][] = $array2[$key];
        }
    }
    return json_encode($result, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
}

Output:

{
    "course_code": "UGRC110",
    "venue_id": [
        22,
        25
    ],
    "exam_date": "May 6, 2017",
    "exam_time": "3:30 pm",
    "student_no": [
        400,
        700
    ]
}
