Rai Technology University was established within this framework as a self-financed institution, situated in the Bengaluru Urban region, an area widely recognised as a hub for higher education and the information technology industry in India.
The institution is associated with the Rai group, a network of educational establishments that has run colleges and universities in multiple Indian states under similar branding.
The university typically offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes. Common areas of study at such technology-focused universities include:
The campus is located in the rural outskirts of the Bengaluru Urban district, providing a residential setting away from the central city while remaining within the larger Bengaluru metropolitan area.

Karnataka has been among the leading states in India in terms of the number of private universities, reflecting policy shifts since the 2000s that allowed greater private participation in degree-granting higher education.
