+# 🎓 UniQuest India — Statewise University Finde
+A web app that uses University API to fetch and display universities across all states of India
+
+## 📌 About The Project
+UniQuest India is a mini web project that allows users to search and explore universities statewise across India using a public REST API. Instead of manually searching, users can simply select or type a state name and instantly get a list of universities available in that region — all fetched in real-time using an API call.
+
+## 🔌 API Used
+This project uses the Hipolabs University API - GET http://universities.hipolabs.com/search?country=india
+
+## 🙌 Acknowledgements
+1. Apna College — For the Delta course and this assignment 💙

+
+## ✨ Features
+1. 🔍 Search universities by state name in India
+2. 🌐 Fetches live data using REST API
+3. 📋 Displays university name, state.
+4. ⚡ Dynamic rendering with JavaScript
