The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has officially opened the online registration portal for 2025 Batch C. This marks a key moment to secure your mobilisation and prepare for the orientation camp experience.

What is NYSC Batch C?

NYSC operates its annual mobilisation exercise in three batches: Batch A, Batch B and Batch C. Each batch corresponds to different groups of fresh graduates and different timelines. According to the 2025 mobilisation timetable, Batch C is the last batch in the year — typically running towards the end of the year (October – December) for orientation and service.

Batch C presents an opportunity for eligible graduates who may have missed earlier batches or whose institutions’ senate lists were submitted late, thereby giving one more chance to register and be mobilised.

Key Dates for 2025 Batch C

Here are the important dates you should know:

• Uploading of Senate/Academic Board approved results by institutions: 20 – 24 October 2025.
• Pre-Mobilization Workshop for Batch C: 2 – 6 November 2025.
• Online registration by Nigerian-trained & foreign-trained graduates: 4 – 9 November 2025.
• Pre-camp physical verification for foreign-trained graduates: 9 – 13 November 2025.
• Printing/deployment & call-up letter roll-out: 16 – 18 November 2025.
• Orientation Camp for Batch C Stream 1: 19 Nov – 9 Dec 2025.

Note: These dates may be subject to changes by NYSC. Always check the official NYSC portal at www.nysc.gov.ng or the mobilisation page for any updates.

Who is Eligible?

Before you proceed, ensure you meet the eligibility criteria:

• You must have completed a degree programme (BSc/BA, HND) from a recognized institution.
• Your school must have uploaded your name on the Senate/Academic Board approved list. For locally-trained graduates, this list enables access to registration.
• If you are foreign-trained, you must possess valid credentials, transcripts, travel documents, and meet other requirements.
• You need a functional email address and a Nigerian GSM phone number.
• You must register within the stipulated window (4–9 Nov 2025 for Batch C). Missing this window may delay your mobilisation to the next batch.

Step-by-Step: How to Register for Batch C

Here’s a step-by-step guide designed for beginners:

1. Visit the official NYSC Portal: portal.nysc.org.ng (or access via www.nysc.gov.ng).
2. Create an account (if you are registering for the first time) using your email address and Nigerian phone number.
3. Log in and select “Fresh Registration / 2025 Batch C” (or the appropriate batch link) when it becomes active (4 Nov 2025).
4. Fill in your biodata details carefully (name, date of birth, institution, matriculation number, course of study). Double check accuracy.
5. Upload required documents:
   • Recent passport photograph (white or off-white background)
   • Degree certificate or final results slip
   • Institution’s Senate list result (for locally-trained graduates)
   • Foreign-trained graduates: transcript, valid passport, travel document, etc.
6. Select your preferred state(s) of deployment (though final posting depends on NYSC).
7. Pay the registration/printing fee as directed on the portal. Keep your receipt.
8. Submit your registration. After submission, monitor your dashboard and email for the call-up number, posting, and further instructions.
9. Once call-up letters are released (16 – 18 Nov), print your call-up letter and get ready for the orientation camp.

Important Requirements Checklist

To avoid delays or issues, have the following ready:

• Functional email address and Nigerian GSM line.
• Matriculation number (for locally-trained graduates).
• Passport photograph meeting NYSC standards.
• Original or scanned copies of degree certificate / transcript.
• If foreign-trained: valid passport, transcript, evaluation letter (if applicable).

Tips for a Smooth Registration

• Prepare early: Don’t wait until the last minute. Upload documents and ensure your details are correct ahead of time.
• Use a reliable internet connection: Registration involves multiple uploads and payments — a stable internet helps.
• Confirm your institution submitted your Senate list: If your school delays uploading, you may miss access to registration.
