Java (originally named, “Oak”) is considered to be one of the best languages when it comes to building

projects and is also a highly paid one. Be it a web app, android app, or even a gaming app, Java is best in
every application. According to GitHub,  there are 9 million developers globally and this community
grows on a daily basis. Java is a class-based, objective, secured, and universal programming language. It
has a Write Once, Read Anywhere (WORA)  feature which makes it unique. 

With such amazing facts about Java, you would surely want to build some amazing applications using it,
be it in any field like big data, mobile, enterprise, financial, or commerce. This article majorly focuses on
projects which can be used by college students. Whether you’re from the first year, second year, third
