With #1 and 2, you say he will graduate "by" July 2009. That sounds like he could graduate in April, May, June, or July. You probably mean "in."
With #2, he will graduate whether he passes the exam or not.
#3 is correct grammatically, but would be better as this: When he experiences failure, he never gives up, but instead pursues his ambition with even great efforts.
