What is class, and how does that realate to the expected output? Is it always index 0 that you mix with index 0, and so on? — Andreas, Jul 30 '19 at 06:38

You can try the following way with the help of array_walk().

$classType = [
    ["class" => "1", "type" => "A"],
    ["class" => "2", "type" => "A"],
    ["class" => "3", "type" => "B"]
];

$clollege['studentDetails'] = [
    ["grade" => "2", "hobbies" => ["A" , "B"] ],
    ["grade" => "2", "hobbies" => ["A" ] ],
    ["grade" => "3", "hobbies" => [ "C" ] ]
];

$classType = array_column($classType, 'type', "class");
array_walk($clollege['studentDetails'], function(&$item) use($classType) {
    $item['type'] = $classType[$item['grade']];
});

echo '<pre>';
print_r($clollege['studentDetails']);
echo '</pre>';

Working demo.

Its for `echo`. Updated, you can try it now. – MH2K9 Jul 30 '19 at 06:51
One small question suppose `$studentList['studentDetails']` array **grade** it is under group array means, how to change your code,expected output is same. – Kani R Jul 30 '19 at 08:06
**I have posted my $studentList['studentDetails'] in update code section** – Kani R Jul 30 '19 at 08:06
@KaniR, I'm not clear about your question. What are the new data structures? is it `$clollege['studentDetails']` or `$studentList['studentDetails']`? Very confusing. Clearly describe what are the two data structure. – MH2K9 Jul 30 '19 at 09:19
I got answer now – Kani R Jul 30 '19 at 09:38

You can not use grade as key 2 times in a single or sub array element, i have mentioned solution by using type index.

You can use foreach with array_reduce

 foreach($clollege['studentDetails'] as $key => &$val){
    $grade       = $val['grade'];
    $val['type'] = array_reduce($classType, function($r, $item) use ($grade){
      return ($item['class'] == $grade) ? $item['type'] : $r;
    }); 
  }
  print_r($clollege);

Updates

Change code

$grade = $val['grade'];

to

$grade = $val['group']['grade'];

If there is chance for the both of the situation use

$grade  = isset($val['group']['grade']) ? $val['group']['grade'] : $val['grade'];
