I wanted to know is there exists any
standard way to clear the console programatically. Thanking in advance.

"The" console is different on different platforms, and on some
platforms there are more than one to choose from. Java doesn't provide
any mechanisms to help with this.

You seem to be posting from Linux, so you can most likely achieve what
you want by printing xterm control sequences to System.out. Use Google
to find the standard document.
