In his school years, Kalam had average grades but was described as a
bright and hardworking student who had a strong desire to learn. He
spent hours on his studies, especially Mathematics.[21] After
completing his education at the Schwartz Higher Secondary School,
Ramanathapuram, Kalam went on to attend Saint Joseph's College,
Tiruchirappalli, then affiliated with the University of Madras, from
where he graduated in physics in 1954.[22] He moved to Madras in 1955
to study aerospace engineering in Madras Institute of Technology.[13]
While Kalam was working on a senior class project, the Dean was
dissatisfied with his lack of progress and threatened to revoke his
scholarship unless the project was finished within the next three
days. Kalam met the deadline, impressing the Dean, who later said to
him, "I was putting you under stress and asking you to meet a
difficult deadline."[23] He narrowly missed achieving his dream of
becoming a fighter pilot, as he placed ninth in qualifiers, and only
eight positions were available in the IAF.[24]

After graduating from the Madras Institute of Technology in 1960,
Kalam joined the Aeronautical Development Establishment of the Defence
Research and Development Organisation (by Press Information Bureau,
Government of India) as a scientist after becoming a member of the
Defence Research & Development Service (DRDS). He started his career
by designing a small hovercraft, but remained unconvinced by his
choice of a job at DRDO.[26] Kalam joined the INCOSPAR, working under
Vikram Sarabhai, the renowned space scientist.[13] He was interviewed
and recruited into ISRO by H. G. S. Murthy, the first Director of
Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS).[27] In 1969, Kalam
was transferred to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) where
he was the project director of India's first Satellite Launch Vehicle
(SLV-III) which successfully deployed the Rohini satellite in
near-earth orbit in July 1980; Kalam had first started work on an
expandable rocket project independently at DRDO in 1965.[1] In 1969,
Kalam received the government's approval and expanded the programme to
include more engineers.[25]

Kalam was invited by Raja Ramanna to witness the country's first
nuclear test Smiling Buddha as the representative of TBRL, even though
he had not participated in its development. In the 1970s, Kalam also
directed two projects, Project Devil and Project Valiant, which sought
to develop ballistic missiles from the technology of the successful
SLV programme.[29] Despite the disapproval of the Union Cabinet, Prime
Minister Indira Gandhi allotted secret funds for these aerospace
projects through her discretionary powers under Kalam's
directorship.[29] Kalam played an integral role convincing the Union
Cabinet to conceal the true nature of these classified aerospace
projects.[29] His research and educational leadership brought him
great laurels and prestige in the 1980s, which prompted the government
to initiate an advanced missile programme under his directorship.[29]
Kalam and Dr V S Arunachalam, metallurgist and scientific adviser to
the Defence Minister, worked on the suggestion by the then Defence
Minister, R. Venkataraman on a proposal for simultaneous development
of a quiver of missiles instead of taking planned missiles one after
another.[30] R Venkatraman was instrumental in getting the cabinet
approval for allocating ₹ 3.88 billion for the mission, named
Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP) and appointed
Kalam as the chief executive.[30] Kalam played a major part in
developing many missiles under the mission including Agni, an
intermediate range ballistic missile and Prithvi, the tactical
surface-to-surface missile, although the projects have been criticised
for mismanagement and cost and time overruns.[30][31]
