Java Programming & DSA

Program overview

Java, taught the way the industry uses it

Java runs enterprise back-ends, banking and payment systems, Android apps and large-scale distributed platforms. It is also one of the languages most widely accepted in coding interviews and campus placement tests, because its strong typing and rich standard library make algorithms clear and precise to express.

This program has two connected halves. In the first half you master the language itself: how the JDK, JRE and JVM fit together, the full object-oriented toolkit, exception handling, generics, the Collections Framework, modern Java features (lambdas, the Streams API and Optional), file I/O, multithreading and database access with JDBC. In the second half you use that Java to learn data structures and algorithms in depth: complexity analysis, recursion and backtracking, sorting and searching, linked lists, stacks, queues, hashing, trees, heaps, graphs, greedy techniques and dynamic programming.

Every concept is taught live on Google Meet. A typical session moves from the reasoning behind a feature or algorithm, to live coding, to guided practice where you write and test the code yourself. Weekly assignments and timed problem sets build fluency, and a sequence of projects ensures you can apply each skill to working software.

By the end of the program you will have a GitHub portfolio of Java projects, a capstone that combines a complete application with a reviewed DSA problem set, and a clear, repeatable method for approaching coding interviews. The same curriculum, projects, support and certificate apply to every learner, wherever in the world you join from.

Who it's for

Is this program right for you?

• College students preparing for campus placements and coding rounds
• Beginners who want Java as a first, industry-standard language
• Learners who know basic Java syntax but struggle with OOP or DSA
• Working professionals moving into back-end or enterprise development
• Graduates preparing for product-company technical interviews
• Anyone who wants a strong foundation before frameworks such as Spring

Prerequisites

No prior programming experience is required. Comfort with basic school mathematics and a willingness to practice between sessions are enough. If you already program in another language, you will move quickly through the early weeks and gain most from the advanced Java and DSA modules.

What you need

• A laptop or desktop (Windows, macOS or Linux) that can run a modern JDK and IDE
• A stable internet connection and a modern browser for Google Meet
• A Google account, which may be needed to join Google Meet sessions
• A free GitHub account (we help you set it up in week 1)

Learning outcomes

What you will be able to do

• Explain how Java source becomes bytecode and runs on the JVM
• Design programs with classes, interfaces, inheritance and polymorphism
• Apply encapsulation, abstraction and SOLID-style design choices
• Handle errors robustly with checked and unchecked exceptions
• Write type-safe reusable code with generics
• Choose the right collection (List, Set, Map, Queue, Deque) for a task
• Process data concisely with lambdas, streams and Optional
• Write concurrent code with threads, synchronization and executors
• Connect a Java program to a relational database with JDBC
• Analyze time and space complexity using Big-O notation
• Implement core data structures from scratch and via the JDK
• Solve recursion, graph, greedy and dynamic-programming problems
• Explain your approach clearly in a technical interview

Week-by-week curriculum

12 weeks: Java first, then DSA in Java

Each week combines live instruction, guided practice and an assignment. Weeks 1–6 build the language; weeks 7–12 apply it to data structures and algorithms.

Portfolio projects

Build real Java software

Projects are built alongside the curriculum and committed to your own GitHub repository, giving you concrete work to discuss in interviews.

Tools & technologies

The toolkit you will work with

Learning experience

How you will learn

The program is built around the principle of Learn · Build · Grow: understand a concept, apply it immediately, then grow your skills through projects, feedback and practice.

Your weekly learning rhythm

1. Learn live

   Attend live sessions where each concept is explained and demonstrated with real code.

2. Practice

   Solve guided exercises and the weekly assignment to make the concept your own.

3. Build

   Apply the week's skills to your current portfolio project and commit your work to Git.

4. Review

   Clear doubts, receive feedback on your code and prepare for the next module.

Class schedule

All classes are scheduled in Indian Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30). When you register, you choose your preferred batch timing — Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Weekend or Flexible. Our team confirms the batch start date and final class timings before the batch begins. Learners outside India should convert IST to their local time zone when choosing a slot; if you are unsure which slot suits you, message us on WhatsApp before registering.

Learning modes

Certification & assessment

Certificate of Completion

Learners who complete the course requirements receive a Certificate of Completion from AwT Academy for the Java program. The certificate is issued in the name you provide at registration, so please enter it exactly as you want it to appear.

Career pathways

Where Java and DSA can take you

Java and strong problem-solving skills are a foundation for many technical roles. This program prepares you for entry-level opportunities and further specialization in the directions below. Outcomes depend on your own effort, practice and the job market; career guidance and interview preparation are provided, but job placement is not.

What interviewers typically test

• OOP principles and how you apply them to a design problem
• Collections internals: how HashMap, ArrayList and TreeMap work
• Exceptions, immutability, String behavior and JVM memory basics
• Multithreading fundamentals and common concurrency pitfalls
• Coding problems on arrays, strings, trees, graphs and dynamic programming, with complexity analysis
• How clearly you communicate your approach, trade-offs and edge cases while you code

Fees & payment

Simple, transparent pricing

One clear fee covers the complete 12-week program. The fee depends only on your country of residence, which you declare at registration, and the same fee applies to every AwT Academy course. Prices are exclusive of GST, which is charged at the rate prescribed under Indian law (currently 18%). The registration form applies the correct fee automatically based on the country you select; misdeclaring your country of residence may lead to cancellation of the registration or a demand for the difference.

• All live online classes across the 12-week curriculum
• Hands-on practice in every session
• Study material, code examples and weekly assignments
• Five guided portfolio projects and a reviewed capstone project
• Doubt-solving support throughout the program
• Interview preparation and mock interview practice
• Career guidance, including resume and GitHub portfolio review
