C & C++ vs Java
The published figures from each course's own page, side by side — duration, fees, tools, careers and starting pay — so you can compare without opening two tabs.
| C & C++ | Java | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | the foundation course that teaches you how memory, pointers and machines actually work | the enterprise language that still runs banking, insurance and large-scale backend systems |
| Duration | 3 – 6 Months | 3 – 6 Months |
| Fees | Ask a counsellor for the current fee | Ask a counsellor for the current fee |
| Fresher salary (Punjab) | ₹15,000 – ₹28,000 / month | ₹18,000 – ₹32,000 / month |
| Mode | Classroom, Weekend & 1-on-1 | Classroom, Weekend & 1-on-1 |
Java's published band tops out higher (₹32,000 vs ₹28,000 for a fresher) — though the gap closes fast with a portfolio, and both climb well past these figures with experience.
C and C++ underpin embedded work, systems roles and every competitive-programming round in campus placements.
