I'm totally confused

Hey, I'm second year student in bca I will complete my fourth sem this month but had no idea about what to do next. I'm really confused between a full stack developer and Java developer. I don't know which side to choose. Can you please help me choose between this two wisely

It’s not like being a doctor, you don’t have to commit to a specialty. You don’t have to “choose” anything.

A lot of companies say "full stack" and they mean a browser UI framework like React and then the web server serving it, probably Node.js using Typescript these days. Everything upstream from that isn't included, and is called "backend". Java tends to handle backend.
However, there are lots of ways to do the (web) UX layer and Java can easily do it. And in some cases, people say "full stack" and they mean "everything technical". This seems to be more the case for startups, especially the kind where you have five MBA "idea men" getting equity and one techie getting $45 hourly for 40 of the 80 hours they worked and a promise to get a little equity later "once they work the details out". Anyway good luck in this lovely industry.

Anymore most devs can dabble in full stack if not are indeed full stack, however for learning I’d start with the Java track. It will translate well to almost everything you do

You can be both as Java can be used in Full Stack through Spring/SpringBoot. You just have to learn a few other things with it.
So your question doesn't make sense, unless your school's "full stack" is only teaching you one or two tech stacks that doesn't involve Java.
In which case, you didn't give us enough details to help you make a choice.
