Java vs Cybersecurity
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.
| Java | Cybersecurity | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | the enterprise language that still runs banking, insurance and large-scale backend systems | defending networks, applications and data against real attack techniques |
| 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) | ₹18,000 – ₹32,000 / month | ₹20,000 – ₹35,000 / month |
| Mode | Classroom, Weekend & 1-on-1 | Classroom, Weekend & 1-on-1 |
Cybersecurity's published band tops out higher (₹35,000 vs ₹32,000 for a fresher) — though the gap closes fast with a portfolio, and both climb well past these figures with experience.
Java remains the default in enterprise and service companies, which is what most campus recruiters in Punjab are hiring for.
