HELLO,

If you have completed a B.A. degree with Hindi as your second language, and now you're interested in doing M.A. in Sanskrit, your eligibility will depend on a few things:

You may be eligible if:

• You studied Sanskrit as a main subject or as a part of your course in your B.A. (even as an elective or optional).

• Some universities accept students from other language backgrounds (like Hindi) if they have basic knowledge of Sanskrit or pass an entrance test.

You may NOT be eligible if:

• You never studied Sanskrit at the degree level or in your previous education.

• The university you're applying to strictly requires a B.A. in Sanskrit or equivalent.

What You Can Do:

• Check the specific university’s eligibility rules for M.A. Sanskrit.

• Some universities allow students from Hindi, Telugu, or other language backgrounds, especially if you're willing to take a bridge course or pass an entrance exam.

• You can also consider open universities or distance education (like IGNOU), which often have more flexible eligibility.
