Kalam developed a keen desire to go for higher studies in college – something that no member of his family had the benefit of. Thus it was that he entered St. Joseph’s College at Tiruchi in 1950 at the age of 18. Teachers like Rev. Fr. Sequeira of St. Joseph’s College exerted considerable influence on him.
Kalam was greatly impressed by the way students and others of different faiths lived together in peace, harmony and happiness. Physics was a subject that fascinated him and he slowly began to realise that through science, spiritual enrichment and self- realisation were possible. He also developed in interest in subjects like cosmology and science in general.
After four years at St. Joseph’s, he joined the Madras Institute of Technology (MIT). This private institution was the only one in the country then, which offered post-B.Sc. and diploma courses in aeronautical engineering, automobile engineering, electronic and instrument technology.
Monetary difficulties to join the MIT were solved when his sister readily agreed to mortgage her gold bangles and chain to raise the necessary amount of about Rs. 1000. He was however determined to repay this amount to his sister as early as possible and also to win a scholarship, which he did at the MIT.
Even as a young boy he had admired the flight of birds and developed a fascination for the subject of flight. He therefore opted for the course in aeronautical engineering at the MIT. During these years (1954-57), his goal in life became clear, and that was to fly aircraft.
