What nationality is brother?
What is his immigration status in UK?
Does he depend on you in some way or is he a member of your household (with you as head of household)?
Was he dependent on you in the previous country you lived in? (where did brother live at that time?)
You could start here:

Where did you and brother live before UK?
When was that ? (6 months ago?)
How was brother dependent on you before (in any other country)?
How does brother finance his studies & student life?

If brother's been in UK 5 years it may be problematic if you've only had a bank transfer set up and running for past 6 months or so.
Anyway, you can see in this HO guidance how a caseworker will weigh up & assess any application for an EFM RC:
