Twelfth graders can submit applications for admission to the State Matriculation Examinations from February 6 to 21.

This year, the compulsory matriculation exams are respectively:

in Bulgarian language and literature - on May 19, 2023.

from 8.30 am

on profiling subject - on May 23, 2023.

from 8.30 am

There are also two additional matriculation exams upon request.

They will take place between May 26 and May 31.

Since last year, there have been changes in matriculation exams.

They are already taken at two levels - general education and profiling depending on how a given subject was studied.

The first compulsory matriculation exam in Bulgarian language and literature is taken by everyone at the general education level.


The second compulsory matriculation exam is now in a profiling subject studied in the 11th and 12th grades.

In addition to the previously known subjects, physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, etc., the profiling subjects that can be taken for matriculation were expanded to include informatics, information technology, entrepreneurship, music and fine arts.

A few days ago, the MPs adopted a change in the Law on School Education, according to which, if a student did not study a subject, for example mathematics, as a profiler in the 11th and 12th grades, he will still be able to pass this subject at the level of a profiler subject , and not at the lower level of general education as an additional third or fourth matriculation.

This makes it easier to apply abroad, because the burden of the general education matriculation exam in the ballroom education is less.

Another change from last year is that at the matriculation exams, a triple is written not for 23, but for 30 points.

The changes in matriculation exams were necessary because last year the first graduating class under the new Law on School Education took place in the 12th grade.

And the basis of this law is profiled education in the 11th and 12th grades.

The Ministry of Education and Science has announced when the school holidays will be in 2023.
