Although he studied hard, yet he failed his exams.

Is 'yet' optional? Thanks.
 
I am not a teacher.

No, it's just wrong.

Either, "Although he studied hard he failed in his exams."
or, "He studied hard, yet he failed in his exams."
 
No — it's wrong.

Use either 'although' or 'yet' — not both.

EDIT: Cross-posted with Roman.

Can I exclude 'in'?

Yes, you can omit it.
