Student Management System (Java Console Application)

📌 Project Overview

The Student Management System is a Java console-based CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application developed using Core Java concepts. It allows users to manage student records through a simple menu-driven interface.

This project was built to strengthen understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), collections, loops, methods, and Java fundamentals.
