Try to reach Specialist within 6 / 8 month.
If you're only trying to reach CM in codeforces (but not trying to perform well in other competitions like ICPC) you can just put in a lot of time to solve problems from previous rounds, since most problems you'll encounter before reaching Master do not require classical algorithms.
By the way, to reach CM you needs to solve at least 4 problems in Div.2 in average. If you're not particularly talented, it's a big challenge to reach CM even in 2 years.
What if I want to perform well in both coding competitions too guide the way sir
You need to learn algorithms such as network flow, shortest path, those sort of advanced things and build your skill set
Where can I find a list of such algorithms?
Practice
Would like to advice how I mean like from problemset or just random contests
When i got to pupil i had practiced USACO bronze and silver and able to solve 1400 under 30 min. I didnt follow a specific path
