About Us

Thank you for visiting Aviyal Presentations.

Like the popular Kerala dish “Aviyal” (which is served with rice), Aviyal Presentations is an amalgam of presentations of various interesting topics.

It was primarily started as an aid for aspiring BCA and MCA students of IGNOU. In addition to presentations meant to serve as study aid, previous year’s question papers are also easily accessible from here. Later, we began exploring other interesting topics such as ‘ Harvest Festivals of India ‘ and started putting together presentations for these as well.

All files are in PDF format with vibrant images. Study modules have images compiled from various sources for ease of learning and understanding.

Please note that new presentations and study material are added multiple times a week. You can follow all our updates by clicking on the “Follow” link below. In addition, notifications of new presentations will be updated on our FB page ” Aviyal Presentations “. If you need any presentation topic in particular, please contact us using the FEEDBACK menu or FB page. We guarantee responses within 48 hrs.

We hope you enjoy Aviyal Presentations with this authentic Aviyal Recipe.
