He finished his matriculation from the Punjab University, at the age of 14 and scored the highest marks ever in the history of the university. His mentors insisted that he should become an English teacher, however, Salam wanted to stick to Mathematics. He also went on to pursue a B.A in mathematics by the year 1944.
Salam tried to pursue Civil Services as per his father’s wish. However, he failed to qualify since he wore spectacles and was too young.
In 1946, he completed his M.A in mathematics from the Government College University. He also received a scholarship from the University of Cambridge the same year, to pursue further studies
Salam completed his BA degree in double first class honors from the Cambridge University, Mathematics and Physics were his chosen subjects for specialization.
Salam pursued his PhD degree in theoretical physics from the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge, where he chose Quantum Electrodynamics as a subject for his doctoral thesis.

4. PERSONAL LIFE
Salam married twice. His wife at the time of his death was Dame Louise Johnson, who also was a professor of molecular biology at the Oxford University.
He had three daughters and a son from his first wedding. He also had a son and a daughter from second wife.

5. MAJOR WORKS
He studied quantum electrodynamics and quantum field theory and its extension into particle physics.
In his work with neutrinos he introduced chiral symmetry which played a crucial role in development of the theory of electroweak interactions.
Salam introduced the Higgs bosons and predicted the existence of proton decay.
In 1963 he published his work on the vector meson and in 1968 was finally able to formulate the mathematical model.
He continues his work on a grand unified theory of particle physics.
He worked tirelessly to interest the Pakistan government in science research and development.
Salam played a crucial role in Pakistan's development of a nuclear energy program.
He was the founder of Pakistan's space program and on September 16, 1961 the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission was established.

6. ARCHEIVEMENTS & AWARDS

He received the ‘Adam’s Prize’ from the Cambridge University, in the year 1958, for his contribution towards science.
The government of Pakistan awarded him the ‘Sitara-E-Pakistan’, for paving way for scientific research in the nation.
Abdus Salam was honored with the ‘Hughes Medal’ of the Royal Society of London, in 1964, for his outstanding contribution towards Quantum Mechanics and the Theory of Fundamental Particles.
He was given the ‘Atoms Peace Award’ for his excellence in nuclear research, in the year 1968
In 1979, he won the prestigious Nobel Prize in Physics for his contribution to electroweak unification. He became the first Muslim to win a Nobel Prize in science. He is also the first and the only Pakistani so far to win the Nobel Prize..
