📅 8-Week Study Plan


Week Focus
1 Core Java Basics (Variables, Data Types, Operators, Loops, Arrays, Methods)
2 Strings, Functions, Pattern Programs, Number Programs
3 OOP Concepts (Classes, Objects, Constructors, Inheritance, Polymorphism)
4 Abstraction, Interfaces, Exception Handling, File Handling Basics
5 Collections Framework + Coding Practice
6 SQL + JDBC + MySQL
7 Projects, Git & GitHub, Resume, Basic DSA
8 Mock Tests, Mock Interviews, HR Preparation, Revision

💡 My recommendation
Instead of studying everything randomly, we'll follow this sequence:

1. Core Java
2. OOP
3. Strings & Arrays
4. Exception Handling
5. Collections
6. SQL
7. JDBC
8. Project Development
9. Coding Practice (daily)
10. Mock Technical & HR Interviews

This order builds your knowledge step by step, and it's the same progression many
interviewers expect when they assess a Java fresher.

We'll treat this like a real placement bootcamp: after every topic, you'll solve coding
questions, answer interview-style questions, and gradually build confidence for the technical
rounds. By the end, you'll not only know the concepts—you'll be able to explain and apply
them under interview conditions. 🚀
