The Covid-19 pandemic has indeed been declared over. However, the impact can still be felt today, especially in Higher Education. To be able to undergo education effectively and efficiently post-pandemic, students need Grit traits. Grit, or the spirit of pursuing long-term goals, is an important predictor of career success and success in many fields, including education. However, can grit predict the same in students who experience erratic and fluctuating education periods during post-covid-19 learning? In addition, students are also required to be persistent in realizing their long-term goals. This study aims to identify and describe grit in students and add important contributions in understanding necessary actions, support systems, and policies for life in a post-pandemic world. A systematic quantitative explanatory approach is used in research for this methodology to be successful. We collect data using online surveys through Google Form. The instrument used is the Grit-O scale which is adopted from Angela Duckword's Grit theory. Indicators of persistence and desire are indicated through 12 items. The online survey was given to 461 students consisting of 127 male students and 337 female students from universities throughout Indonesia. The analysis model we use is the RASCH model so that it can be known the picture of student grit after the COVID-19 pandemic demographically. The findings obtained from this investigation revealed that grit in students after the COVID-19 pandemic was in the medium category, so services were needed to improve student grit.
