No, but ideally, it should be done during a regularly scheduled Sunday Mass, because at Baptism we are made members of the church family. How can a family welcome you if your welcoming ceremony is done in a private ceremony.
God bless,

No, a Catholic Baptism does not have to be within a Mass.
However the Mass with the entire congregation present is the best place for a Baptism.
With love in Christ.

No, a mass is not required. However, given the magnitude of the Sacrament of Baptism, one should consider having the Baptism during mass.

No.
Baptisms are often done after the last Mass on Sundays.
