A checked exception must either be handled within a catch block or declared with a throws clause in the method declaration. If not, the compiler will throw an error. There are no such restrictions with unchecked exceptions.

A checked exception usually occurs out of an exceptional situation that your application should reasonably try to recover from. For example, on catching a FileNotFoundException your program could prompt the user for the correct file path again. An unchecked exception usually occurs because of a bug in your application. Hence, instead of catching the exception, you fix the underlying logic of your program. For example, if you incorrectly access an array at an index that lies outside its size, an IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown. read less

checked exception has been thrown at the time of compilation, we can handle in two ways we can handle this by try catch block or we can throw this exception. Un checked exceptions are the exceptions thrown at the time of run time, we can handle this by using try and catch blocks.

For Checked exceptions we need to catch or declare to be thrown using 'throws' at method signature. For Unchecked exceptions we no need to all these.
