One plan covers every Professional Certificate on Coursera.

Build a complete online admission system using Java Servlets, JSP, and PostgreSQL through a practical, project-based learning experience. This course is designed for intermediate Java developers who want to strengthen their ability to develop secure, database-driven web applications that reflect real-world academic admission workflows. You will begin by understanding the online admission process, creating a JSP-based student login system, designing a PostgreSQL relational database, and establishing JDBC connectivity. As you progress, you will construct multi-step admission forms, implement input validation, dynamically display institutional data, and enable secure file uploads for applicant documents. In the final module, you will implement secure application submission, integrate a payment gateway, generate printable application forms, verify uploaded documents, manage application approvals and rejections, and generate merit lists based on academic criteria. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end approach to developing a complete admission management application—from student registration through administrative decision-making—using practical implementation rather than isolated examples. If you want to enhance your Java web development skills by building a realistic, database-driven admission system with Java Servlets, JSP, JDBC, and PostgreSQL, this course provides the structured, hands-on experience to help you achieve that goal.

Syllabus

Foundations of Online Admission

This module provides a foundational understanding of building an online admission system using Java Servlets, JSP, and PostgreSQL. Learners are introduced to the system's overall structure, including the student login process, database design, JDBC connectivity, and the core Java classes involved in form validation and data handling. The module lays the technical groundwork for implementing secure, database-driven web applications in Java.

Building the Admission Forms

This module focuses on constructing the core data collection forms that drive the online admission process. Learners will develop forms to capture institutional preferences, personal details, academic background, and general information. They will also implement form validation techniques and file upload functionality to enable applicants to submit essential documents such as photographs and academic certificates. Through hands-on examples, the module emphasizes best practices in structuring, validating, and organizing multi-step web forms using Java, JSP, and PostgreSQL.

Submission, Verification, and Merit

This module guides learners through the final stages of the online admission process, including submission, payment, verification, and merit list generation. Learners will implement features that allow students to finalize and print their applications, integrate a secure payment gateway, and facilitate administrative actions such as document verification and application rejection. The module concludes with logic for generating the merit list based on academic performance. By the end of this module, learners will understand how to handle form submission securely, validate application data, and execute end-to-end decision workflows in a real-world web application.
