Is this sentence correct?

Hi Xamba,

There is a difference between the two. 'Unless; suggests if he doesn’t study hard, he will not do well. ‘Until’ suggests that as soon as he studies hard, he will do well. In other words ‘unless’ is conditional and ‘until’ is temporal. At the same time both are grammatically correct.
