Problem: Design a Student Registration Form Using Java Swing
Problem Statement
A university intends to digitize its student registration process. Instead of filling paper forms,
student information will be entered through a computer-based registration form.
You are required to design the graphical user interface (GUI) of this registration system using
Java Swing. The interface must resemble a real-world registration form used in academic
institutions.
At this stage, the system does not need to process or store data. The assignment focuses only on
designing a professional-looking form.
