The ranking
| # | University | Six-year tuition, about | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trakia University | ₹49 lakh | Fee falls to €7,500, then €7,000 |
| 2 | Sofia University | ₹51 lakh | €8,000 a year, if unchanged |
| 3 | MU Plovdiv | ₹56 lakh | Falls from €10,000 to €8,200 |
| 4 | MU Pleven | ₹57 lakh | €9,000 every year |
| 5 | MU Sofia | ₹63 lakh | €9,950, if unchanged |
| 6 | MU Varna | ₹64 lakh | €10,000, if unchanged |
"If unchanged" means the university publishes only the current year's fee; it may rise. €1 = ₹106.27 (European Central Bank reference rate (EUR/INR 106.272); Bulgaria uses the euro since 1 January 2026, 23 October 2026)

Add living costs
Living costs change the order less than you might expect, because rents differ more than fees. Pleven and Stara Zagora are cheaper to live in than Sofia or Varna; Pleven's university advises a minimum of €500 a month. Over six years, the difference between a hostel in Pleven and a flat in Sofia can be larger than the difference in tuition.
