The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) portal serves as the central platform for prospective corps members (PCMs) to complete their registration, access relevant information, and carry out all necessary activities related to the NYSC scheme. Whether you’re a first-time user or need assistance navigating the portal, this article provides a detailed guide to help you understand the NYSC portal and its functionalities.

What is the NYSC Portal?

The NYSC portal is an official online platform maintained by the National Youth Service Corps to streamline the registration and mobilization process for Nigerian graduates. It allows users to:

• Register for mobilization.
• Verify their details on the Senate list.
• Correct errors in personal data (such as name, date of birth, and course of study).
• Access resources for foreign-trained graduates.
• Print documents such as call-up letters, exemption certificates, and exclusion letters.

The NYSC portal ensures a smooth process for both locally and foreign-trained graduates, reducing the need for physical visits to NYSC offices.

Key Features of the NYSC Portal

1. Fresh Registration for Prospective Corps Members (PCMs)

Graduates from universities and polytechnics can register for mobilization directly on the NYSC portal. First-time users are required to create an account and provide essential details, such as:

• National Identification Number (NIN).
• Personal information (name, date of birth, contact details).
• Academic credentials.

2. Revalidation for Returning PCMs

If you were deployed in a previous batch but did not report to the orientation camp, you can revalidate your registration by logging into the portal and selecting the “Revalidation” option.

3. Senate List Verification

Before registration, all PCMs must confirm their names on the NYSC Senate List to verify their eligibility. This ensures that your institution has submitted your details to NYSC for mobilization.

4. Data Correction Services

The portal allows PCMs to request corrections for errors in their records, including:

• Name spelling.
• Date of birth (DOB).
• Course of study.
• Class of degree.

Corrections are made via the PCM dashboard, with supporting documents uploaded for verification.

5. Document Upload for Foreign-Trained Graduates

Foreign-trained graduates must upload scanned copies of their academic certificates, transcripts, and travel documents on the portal. The system also allows them to select a physical verification center during registration.

6. Printing of Call-Up Letters

Once mobilization is complete, corps members can log into the portal to print their Call-Up Letters, which specify their state of deployment and details about the orientation camp.

7. Exclusion and Exemption Certificates

• Exclusion Letter: For part-time graduates, the portal provides an option to print an Exclusion Letter once the process is complete.
• Exemption Certificate: Graduates exempt from service due to age or other reasons can collect their Exemption Certificate at NYSC Headquarters, Abuja, after completing the online registration.
