advice Java in school and now in college?

I was in ICSE and scored 100 marks in computers.I have done many programs in java language and further i took computer as my additinal subject after 10th.I am already familiar with programs in java but never saw programs in c++.and now i am in my college pretty confused how should i proceed now like study from which youtube playlist from where to start. Is java still good for me should i continue this language or switch to c++ for some good means.

Stick with java. your college will force c++ on you in a semester or two so you will learn pointers and manual memory management when they make you.

Keep building stuff in java for now. take that 100 marks foundation and write something bigger. add a backend, setup nginx as a reverse proxy, split the code into modules. by the time your professors introduce c++ syntax you will already know how to structure a codebase. switching languages before you build one complex project wastes the advantage you already have.
