There's a percentage relaxation for reserved category students in DU for an MA Sanskrit program. Though it can vary depending on the college, the general relaxation given to categories is
OBC/CW/PwBD: 5%
SC/ST: 5%
It's better to check out the official website of DU for accurate and updated guidelines.

No, it's necessary. You can even opt for an MA in Sanskrit without having a degree in BA Sanskrit. A recognised bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline is enough. No doubt, studying Sanskrit at school or UG level will give you a strong base for further studies, it also depends on one's interests and future goals.
