Correct. The sentence
"Neither of the students failed the examination."
Implies only two students.
For more than one, it would read.
"None of the students failed the examination"

'Neither one of the ...', although not incorrect, would be seen as cumbersome by many native speakers, and in fact "neither student failed the examination" would be acceptable.

In fact, there would usually have to be a good reason for not saying "both students passed the examination"
