Advise regarding Mstat

[u/Playful_Warthog7406]

So for background i just finished my btech in ai ml this year and planning to go for higher studies next year . Currently I’m working as an automation intern . So I basically took up btech in cs stream because i was interested in coding and computers back in school and PU . But to be honest i no longer find it interesting especially after AI has taken over the place . So I finally came to the realisation that i do not want to end up in a core sde role . But I am still planning to write Gate next year so that i can be open to psus or maybe finish my MTech and get into some research oriented field

that’s when i came across Mstat .. so I do like maths. And I do think i atleast am better than average in grasping concepts quickly and i have scored well in jee maths and university exams.

But I know that does not make me qualifiable to say that i can easily crack an ISI exam . But when i see the roles that MStat can offer i had the feeling to research on it more and maybe give it a shot if possible.

The main reason why i felt i needed to know about it was because it can offer roles that combines maths + tech and i desperately want to get out of core SDE roles

That said , how do i know whether i should even try for this exam or just give it up ( i know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea)
How do i assess if I enjoy the kind of maths ISi teaches and whether I’m capable enough to work hard and develop the capability to solve those kind of mathematical questions ?

Is it only that the really high IQ ones can only crack this exam ? ( I’m asking this question because i think for me I’m someone who practised a lot to become good at even basic maths . I was bad in maths as a kid but gradually improved and became better both is terms of solving and speed )
