Before ANYONE judges me or says “mtechs cant do it” I just wanna tell that I am specialist (1530) on codeforces, I grind math and probability problems from US math contests to improve my cf skills overall. Also I participate in every contest on atcoder codeforces and sunday LC since last 8-9 months. Right now I am in final year re-preparing for gate , got 560 score in gate 2026 and will most probably get an old iit next year (gate 2027)- so please keep all hate to yourself. With this grinding for a few more months I will surely improve and reach better level on cf.
So just to keep some motivation in my heart- I wanna ask: which hfts allow mtechs to appear for Oa. Its not as if I am hell bent towards hft and its my sole reason for pursuing masters; but it would be a good vision in my mind to improve my cf and math skills.
Again reiterating - don’t hate on me for asking this question. Just reply if you have the answer or scroll off. Im really working hard in whatever position I currently stand.
