}

StudentService.java

public PaginatedStudentResponse readStudent(Pageable pageable) {
        Page<Student> students = studentRepository.findAll(pageable);
        return PaginatedStudentResponse.builder()
                .numberOfItems(students.getTotalElements()).numberOfPages(students.getTotalPages())
                .studentList(students.getContent())

    }

    public List<Student> getAllStudents(Integer pageNo, Integer pageSize, String sortBy)
        {
            Pageable paging = PageRequest.of(pageNo, pageSize, Sort.by(sortBy));
            Page<Student> pageResult = studentRepository.findAll(paging);
