Rai University (RU) is a private university [2] located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. The university was established in 2012 by the Rai Foundation through the Gujarat Private Universities Act (Amendment), 2012, the same act which established Indus University.
Rai University was originally established by the Rai Foundation in 2002 in Chhattisgarh, one of 46 universities which were established through The Chhattisgarh Niji Kshetra Vishwavidyalaya (Sthapana aur Viniyaman) Adhiniyam, 2001 [3] within a year. [4] The act empowered the state to establish a university through a gazette notification and further allowed such universities to affiliate colleges and set up campuses. [5] At its peak, the university had eleven campuses around Chhattisgarh [6] and a total of 29 colleges across 25 campuses in India and abroad. It offered more than 300 courses. [7] In 2005 the Supreme Court of India passed a decision which cancelled the relevant sections in the above-mentioned act, thus closing 117 universities, Rai University among them.

In 2016 the Government of Gujarat directed Rai University (along with Parul University) to stop admission to its agriculture courses which were unrecognized by the government.
