What is 0am and 24pm? If you use military time, there is no am and pm.
Are you looking for the difference between 2 times? It can never be more than 24 hours, unless a date is involved. If it's a date column, just subtract the first one from the second one and get the difference in days.

like course calsses time 10 am to 11 AM like...
If I given greater than 24 hours it should display an error.
Why don't you store the complete timestamp, this will make the validation quite simple. Since you say the interval should not be > 24 hours, so you just need to check the interval between start and end time <=24 hours else throw an error. Timestamp is for compliance with ANSI.
Even if you use date datatype, the difference between start and end time in terms of days will still validate.

As it is about Apex, you should create a page item validation (for example, PL/SQL function that returns error text) which would take care about valid values.
