[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. [8] The various campuses under Rai Foundation sought affiliation with other university such as Pandit Ravishankar Shukla University for the Raipur campus [9] the Delhi University for the New Delhi campus and the Maharishi Dayanand University for the Gurgaon campus.

One of the campuses was the Belapur campus at Ahmedabad, Gujarat, which was established in 2004. [11] In 2012 the Government of Gujarat invited the Rai Foundation to establish a private university in the Belapur campus.

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.
