2. I wish all of you will do well in the final-year exams.

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,
a) yes
b) no

I think "hope" is the proper verb to use, not "wish".

My hope is that all of you do well in the final-year exams.
My hope is that all of you will do well in the final-year exams.

I hope all of you do well in the final-year exams.
I hope all of you will do well in the final-year exams.
