What Is NYSC Mobilization process?
The NYSC mobilization process refers to the systematic steps every Nigerian graduate must follow to be called up for the one-year national service program. Mobilization begins from your institution and ends when you report to the NYSC orientation camp.
Step 1: Clearance in School
Once you complete your final exams and project defense, the next step is your final clearance at your institution. This step verifies that you’ve fulfilled all academic and administrative obligations. Without final clearance, you cannot be processed for NYSC mobilization.
What happens during clearance:
- You return all school property (e.g., library books).
- You settle outstanding fees (if any).
- You obtain clearance forms from relevant departments.
Step 2: Obtain Your Statement of Results
After final clearance, your institution will issue you a statement of results, which proves that you’ve graduated. This document is mandatory for camp registration and must clearly state your name, course of study, and class of degree.
Note: If you’re a Polytechnic graduate, you must have both your ND and HND results.
Step 3: Register at the Student Affairs Directorate
Before NYSC mobilization process can begin, you must register your name and details with the Student Affairs Division of your school. They are responsible for submitting your name to NYSC for Senate list compilation.
During this phase:
- Provide your full name, matriculation number, JAMB details, and department.
- Cross-check that your personal data is accurate.
- Attach your passport photograph if required.
Step 4: Verify Your Name on the JAMB Matriculation List
This is a very important and often overlooked step. If your name is not on the JAMB Matriculation List, your name will not appear on the NYSC Senate List.
How to verify:
- Visit the JAMB matriculation list portal.
- Enter your details.
- Print your result slip and admission letter if not already available.
Tip: If you see “You have not been matriculated,” visit your institution immediately to resolve the issue.
Step 5: Confirm Your Name on the NYSC Senate List
Once your institution uploads eligible candidates, your name should appear on the NYSC Senate List. Without this, you cannot register for NYSC online.
How to check:
- Go to the NYSC Senate List portal.
- Select your institution.
- Enter your matric number, surname, and date of birth.
If your name is missing: Contact your Student Affairs Officer immediately.
Step 6: NYSC Online Registration
When the NYSC registration portal opens, eligible PCMs can register online.
What you’ll need:
- Active email address and phone number.
- JAMB registration number.
- Statement of result.
- Passport photograph with white background.
- Medical certificate of fitness.
- Choice of four states for deployment (NYSC will post you to one).
How to register:
- Visit https://portal.nysc.org.ng.
- Click “Mobilization Batch A, B, or C” based on your current batch.
- Fill in your details carefully.
- Upload all necessary documents.
- Pay for the call-up letter (if desired).
- Print your Green Card after submission.
Note: Foreign-trained graduates have different requirements—ensure you follow the specific guidelines.
Step 7: Wait and Print Your NYSC Call-Up Letter
After registration, NYSC will process your data and issue a call-up letter.
This letter contains:
- Your NYSC call-up number
- State of deployment
- Orientation camp location
- Reporting date
How to print:
- Login to the NYSC portal.
