NaukriSodho (Hindi/Gujarati) โ "เคเฅเคเฅ เค เคชเคจเฅ เคจเฅเคเคฐเฅ" โ "Find Your Job"
NaukriSodho is a dynamic, full-stack Job Portal Web Application crafted entirely in Java โ no frameworks, no shortcuts. Built from the ground up using raw Java Servlets, JSP, and JDBC, it demonstrates what pure Java Enterprise development looks like in action.
The portal serves two worlds simultaneously โ job seekers who want to discover and apply for opportunities, and employers who want to post openings and scout talent. Both experiences are handled through a clean, servlet-driven backend wired to a relational MySQL database.
