NYSC 2023 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS & THEIR ANSWERS

There is no greater characteristics that defines a Prospective Corp Member (PCM) as the characteristics of asking questions. In fact PCMs can ask questions for Africa (funny yes i know) but this is a good thing because with such feature, you will not miss anything.

Below are some list of relevant questions always asked by 2023 BATCH C PCMs. 

• QUESTION: How will i know which NYSC stream i belong? Also how do i ascertain if i will be posted in this current stream 1 and not moved over to the next 2023 batch C Stream 2 after my online registration.

• Answer: You can only ascertain which stream you belong to when call up letter is out. Avoid being deceived with the following statements: (i) If you register late you will fall in the next stream (FALSE) because even last to register can be placed in a stream 1 and first to register can be rolled over to the next stream of a particular batch. (ii) If you print out greencard late you will fall in the next stream (FALSE). (iii) Using a trick whereby if you try to make correction on your dashboard and you see mobilized you will fall in the current stream (FALSE). Wait for call up letter to know what stream you belong. As for this past 2023 Batch B Stream 1. Not everyone who received Call Up Number and printed their Green Card were posted or issued Call Up Letter, some were spilled over to the subsequent 2023 Batch B Stream 2. There has never been a time that everyone who registered in Stream 1 were posted the same time. Usually for those that are carried over to stream 2, they are not to do anything like fresh registration or Revalidation, they will be automatically revalidated by NYSC and given call up letter.

• QUESTION: Will PCMs be vaccinated against COVID-19 before entering camp? And how compulsory is the vaccination?

• QUESTION: Are PCMs urged to undergo COVID-19 tests prior to their orientation camp? 

• Answer: No, Prospective Corps Members will only be told to fill and print a COVID-19 test form or Slip from their dashboard if need be. The link for the form will be activated on their various dashboards when the time comes if NYSC feels it is necessary. They will further be communicated to by the NYSC management on when to do that "IF NEED BE". The COVID-19 Slip is free so don't let anyone extort you to purchase COVID-19 slip.

• QUESTION: Do Polytechnic graduates require only ND certificate? 

• Answer: No, the NYSC management has stated that all polytechnic graduates are required to present their original ND and HND results in form of original certificate or statement of result. 

• QUESTION: When are those waiting for remobilization going to register? 

• Answer: NYSC portal is always opened for remobilization either before or during registration for any Batch/Stream. The link for remobilization will be very visible like that of revalidation on the front page of the Registration portal. To know more about Remobilization click here. 

• QUESTION: Will the NYSC Orientation Camp Take a full capacity of Corp members like before considering the COVID-19 protocols? 

• Answer: Yes, before now the National Youth Service Corp Orientation Camp capacities was lessened due to the COVID-19 breakout and this was to enable Corp members adhere strictly to the Covid-19 protocols, usually batches were divided into Streams and even sub-streams sometimes just to ease this development. But now the era of COVID-19 has passed and the camp can fully accommodate full capacity of PCMs. You can also notice that the Covid-19 Slip is no longer important for camp. 

• QUESTION: Can the medical certificate i have be used to apply for NYSC relocation? 

• Answer: No, the Medical Certificate of fitness you have done only shows that you are fit for the NYSC orientation exercise. You will need a genuine Medical Report (Doctor's report) from a well recognized government hospital if there is need for you to relocate on health ground. To know more about Relocation click here.

• QUESTION: As a married PCM, with respect to my just concluded NYSC online registration, my surname automatically changed to the surname of my husband, every effort to change it back or revert the process proved abortive, what is my faith?  

• Answer: Every married female PCM who has successfully uploaded the necessary documents needed for their online registration will have their maiden name automatically changed to the maiden name of their husband. This process is usually carried out by the system so that they can enjoy concessional deployment/posting to their husband's place of residence. This process is based on marital grounds. See the list of documents all married women are to upload during online.

• QUESTION: What should foreign trained graduate do?  if they have successfully gone for physical verification and still get notification on their dashboard which reads "You have not yet been evaluated"

• Answer: On normal situations, this notification is seen as a result of a foreign trained PCM not uploading some documents during online registration. Kindly scan with your eyes carefully on your dashboard and also check your email regularly to know the reasons given so as to carry out the needful immediately.  See the list of documents all foreign trained graduate are to upload during online registration

• QUESTION: Is it true that statement of results already laminated are not accepted in the orientation camp? 

• Answer: Actually this is partially true, here is the reason i used "partially true". Some NYSC camp officials warn against lamination of statement of results due to unforseen reasons but despite the warning they still accept laminated statement of result. Just save yourself the stress and embarrassment and don't laminate, to enable easy verification of your document. So if you have already laminated yours, do not panic it will be accepted. 

• QUESTION: My School ID Card is old (Expired), will it be accepted in camp for documentation

• Answer: Yes, expired school ID cards are accepted in camps provided its your original School ID card. NYSC is aware that not all schools issue final year ID card for NYSC

• QUESTION: Can i use departmental ID card for camp registration in place of School ID card? 

• Answer: Absolutely "NO"

• QUESTION: I did my Medical Certificate of Fitness long time ago, is it still possible for it to be accepted? 

• Answer: No, the validity of a medical fitness certificate as stated by the NYSC management board is three (3) months, once it exceeds 3 months you are advised to go for another test and obtain an updated medical fitness certificate. This is because it is very likely for an individual to develop an ailment within 3 months so he or she has to know the status of their health again after 3 months elapse. 

• QUESTION: If my name was on NYSC senate list in previous batch and i did not register what should i do in a subsequent batch to come? 

• Answer: Once NYSC opens the portal for checking of names on Senate List, PCMs who have seen their names on senate list before but didn't register online should verify if their name is still on senate list before proceeding for registration. If their name is no longer on senate list they should quickly contact their respective institution. But no worries there is always 90% chance that their name will still be on senate list.

• QUESTION: If after being mobilized and posted to a state in a particular Batch and i refuse to go to camp due to tangible reasons, will i be posted to the same state i was posted to before when i revalidate the next batch? 

• Answer: Well, you turn out to be in a new Batch and will be posted to any state randomly according to NYSC. Or ordinarily you will be posted to the previous state you were deployed before. All you have to do after revalidation is just reprint your CaIl-up Letter when it is released. In summary it's a 50:50 chance.

• QUESTION: Supposedly am mobilized during a particular batch when i was 30 years and i refuse to obey the clarion's call (Report to camp), then i decide to report to camp the next year of which i will be 31 years, will i be given exemption letter?  i.e not allowed to serve. 

• Answer: NYSC mobilization is based on the age you graduated from your institution, so your service depends on whether or not you graduated above the age of 30 or below. 

• QUESTION: How will i know the requirements or list of things am to bring to the NYSC camp? 

• Answer:  The list of items or things you are to bring to the National Youth Service Corp orientation camp is usually detailed in an Addendum on your NYSC CalI-Up Letter. But before the call up letter you will be updated with camp requirements in various NYSC whatsapp groups so join one and make sure its a genuine group. Our whatsapp group link is above and below this article. You can also Click Here to see the full list of NYSC Camp requirements.

• QUESTION: How will i know when or if its time to revalidate? 

• Answer: Just as stated previously on this post for remobilization, the link for revalidation is always activated once online registration for any batch kicks off.
