The university was established as a private institution under the legislative framework of the Government of Chhattisgarh, which allows for the creation of state private universities through enabling Acts. It functions as a degree-granting body authorised to offer programmes across various academic disciplines.
The institution is associated with the broader Maharishi group of educational organisations, which operate schools, colleges, and universities in several Indian states. These institutions commonly integrate elements of Vedic learning and consciousness-based education alongside conventional academic curricula in fields such as management, technology, sciences, and humanities.
The university is situated in Bilaspur, one of the principal cities of Chhattisgarh and an important administrative and educational centre in the state. Bilaspur serves as the seat of the Chhattisgarh High Court and hosts several institutions of higher learning.
As a multidisciplinary university, the institution typically offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes. Curricular offerings within the Maharishi network of universities generally include management, engineering and technology, computer applications, education, commerce, and traditional Vedic studies.
The university contributes to higher education access in Chhattisgarh, a state that has expanded its higher education sector through both public universities and state private universities since its formation in 2000. Institutions of this kind play a role in widening enrolment in professional and technical disciplines outside the metropolitan centres of India.
