The verb "will be graduating" should be changed to "will graduate" to maintain proper tense consistency. "Is currently studying" (present continuous) should be paired with "will graduate" (simple future) to avoid the awkwardness of two different future tenses.

The corrected sentence would be:
"She is currently studying for her exams and will graduate next month."
