Laravel Raw SQL Queries with named bindings for multiple occurences

I am using DB facade and select method to run raw SQL queries with bindings. Just need to know can we do have multiple parameters with the same name in the query and replace that by providing only 1 binding with parameter name.

e.g.

 $sql = "SELECT students.id, students.name FROM students 
                where students.student_id = :student_id 
                where added_on = ( SELECT MAX( added_on ) AS newdate
                FROM students WHERE student_id = :student_id)"

    return DB::select($sql, [
        'student_id' => 1
    ]);

note: it might possible that I do not have to use student_id twice in this query. It just an example. The purpose is to know if we can achieve this.
