Road to NM/CM (is it possible for me?)

I am currently 2000 in rapid and 1900 in blitz on lichess. I have never played any Fide or Uscf tournament. I don't have any fide rating. But now I am planning to start my journey for a chess title.

I am continuing my bsc degree. May be I have to go for a job after 1 or 2 years. So it is very hard to maintain time on chess study. But I have to try. Is there any advice for me, how long it would take, how much time I have to afford. By the way, is it really possible at this stage to become a master in chess?

You can become a master at any age, you have to work hard and spend enough time (I would say every day). It may take 1 or 2 hours, but if you have such a rating you can already participate in tournaments and just win them.

But I certainly recommend you to play and learn something every day. You will at least beat some strong amateur players

becoming a master is possible at any age
you just need time and effort
some might argue that you also need to have money for coaching and chess courses, but i don't think so, i improved a 1000 points just by yt from my lowest rating in a little under a year
i think you need to play classical too as the tournaments are usually classical but i dont think you have time for that so i recommend sticking to rapid, try not to play too much blitz. (maybe i should take my own advice :P)

For me more than 20 years and I worked hard. If you start late you should plan for a couple of decades.

Books for improvement

CM shortly before I turned 14 (and actually by rating, not by finishing top three on some cadet event).
You can do it in a few years. However, casually imprpving and playing for fun might get you both the title and the satisfaction rather than being obsessed with the rating and being in constant danger of burning out.

Edit: 2000 *lichess rapid*
Aha, maybe a little more than a few years... Other points still stand.

IDK but you crossed 2000 in just 141 rated games its means you are pretty good so if you will take chess time you can surely become a titled player.you can read books too like yousef's one i am reading it and its helping me a lot
