The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has commenced registration for the 2025 Batch C1 mobilisation, opening the process for thousands of Nigerian graduates preparing for the mandatory one-year national service.

The registration, which kicked off on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, witnessed heavy traffic as Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) trooped to the portal to secure their spots.

Although the exercise was initially scheduled to close on Monday, November 9, 2025, the NYSC extended the deadline to midnight on Tuesday, November 11, 2025.

According to the management, the extension followed widespread complaints from PCMs who experienced difficulties accessing and navigating the registration portal.

The Corps apologised for the inconvenience, assuring applicants that they were working “round the clock” to resolve the glitches and ensure a seamless process.

PCMs are required to upload personal details, academic qualifications, and a valid National Identification Number (NIN) on the NYSC portal.

Graduates are advised to ensure that their names, dates of graduation and other details match those on their certificates to prevent verification delays.

Upon successful registration and verification, each PCM is issued a call-up number. They may then print their call-up letter, which contains details of their assigned orientation camp and reporting date.

To ease the process, the NYSC has provided a five-step guide to help PCMs obtain their call-up numbers and complete registration without hassle.

How to Get Your NYSC Call-up Number:

Step 1: Register Online
