Dr. Abdul Kalam is currently a visiting professor at the Indian Institute of Management in Shillong, the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad, and the Indian Institute of Management in Indore. He is an honorary fellow of the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore and Chancellor of the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology in Thiruvananthapuram.
