For his further studies, he attended Saint Joseph’s College, Tiruchirapalli, and then affiliated with the University of Madras and graduated in Physics in 1954. He couldn’t achieve his dream of becoming a fighter pilot, as he attained a ninth place in qualifiers and only eight positions were available.
