Unable to parse this date

I am getting dates in this format 14-MAY-13 01.17.16.250000 PM and 

SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy hh:mm:ss aaa");
  simpleDateFormat.parse("14-MAY-13 01.17.16.250000 PM")

Gives me this exception

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "14-MAY-13 01.17.16.250000 PM" ..What should be format of simpledateformat?

The format must be corrected (see the javadoc for more information). You should also set the Locale to the SimpleDateFormat to be sure the month will be parsed with the correct language.

new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy hh.mm.ss.SSSSSS aaa", Locale.US);

If you don't give the Locale, SimpleDateFormat will use the default locale of your system which can be not the locale of the given string input.

Simple date format and date formate should be same, try this

SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy hh:mm:ss:SSSSSS aaa");

Date d = simpleDateFormat.parse("14-MAY-13 01:17:16:250000 PM");

In your Formatstring you expect hh:mm:ss but in your input string your have hh.mm.ss and you also didn't include the miliseconds.

So the format string should be dd-MMM-yy hh.mm.ss.SSSSSS aaa

You need to use the SSSSSS for milliseconds and replace : with . to match this part 01.17.16.250000. 

SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = 
                 new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy hh.mm.ss.SSSSSS aaa");
