is there any short-cut available for moving the cursor at the start of a line and at the end of the line? Rather than moving arrow left and right can we use any shortcut for the same?

An absurd amount. More than you think you are capable of.

Because at that point, you will have done whatever research necessary to make it a good question worth asking!"* – Dec 01 '17 at 01:56

This one's from the documentation:
The editing capabilities of JShell are similar to that of other common shells. Keyboard keys and key combinations provide line editing shortcuts. The
Ctrlkey andMetakey are used in key combinations. If your keyboard doesn’t have aMetakey, then theAltkey is often mapped to provide Meta key functionality.
You can use:
Ctrl+A
to move the cursor to the beginning of the line and
Ctrl+E
to move the cursor to the end of the line.
