Head First Java: Head First Java was the first Java related book that I read, almost 9 years ago. This is a great book and you should read it. The best part of Head First Java is the simplicity of the book and how easily it relates Java programming concepts to real life.
Java: A Beginners Guide (Sixth Edition): As the name suggests, it's a good book for someone with basic knowledge of programming wanting to learn Java programming language. It's written by Herbert Schildt and covers all the basic concepts of Core Java.
Java: The Complete Reference (Ninth Edition): This book contains everything you need to become master of Java programming language. You can keep this book as a reference. Although I think it's not a good book for complete beginners, because its more than 1200 pages long. But if you want to learn beyond the basics, then this is the book I would recommend.

Apart from GGSD Chandigarh, other good performing colleges are also there in Chandigarh. I recently visited the campus of Indo Global Colleges near Chandigarh which is one of the finest & excellent college of BCA in terms of ranking, reputation, the oldest, affiliation, best learning environment, state of the art infrastructure with well-equipped labs, workshops, digital classrooms equipment and tools etc., beautiful surroundings, strong industry exposure & tie-ups, well qualified and experienced faculty & top placements. This college has tie-up with all leading academic and industrial top companies I.e. IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi and Chennai, IBM, Cisco, Red Hat, Oracle, etc. I met concerned HOD of the Computer department & he guided me very well. I'm sharing my experience based on my recent experience about this college on BCA.
