FMGE record

In 2025, 8 of 26 Pleven graduates passed in June and 8 of 19 in December. In 2015–2018 the record was poor (3 of 55), and in 2021 it was 4 of 12. Results have improved, and Pleven now has the largest Indian alumni group among Bulgarian schools.

Our view

The most practical Bulgarian choice for many Indian families: a moderate fee, a February start that fits a gap after NEET results, many exam dates and low living costs. The small city is the trade-off.
