The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced the release of call-up numbers for the 2025 Batch C Prospective Corps Members.
The scheme confirmed the update on its official X handle on Tuesday, stating, “The NYSC management is pleased to announce that call-up numbers for 2025 Batch C Prospective Corps Members have been released, based on registration order.”
According to the statement, camp capacity across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory means that only about 40 percent of registered Prospective Corps Members can be accommodated for the upcoming orientation programme.
For those who do not secure a spot in Batch C, the NYSC assured that they will be deferred to the next exercise. “Rest assured, those not accommodated will be automatically moved to the next Batch, which will take place soon after Batch C exercise,” the statement added.
The management also reiterated its commitment to ensuring a seamless orientation and service year experience for all participants. “Management remains committed to ensuring a hitch-free orientation exercise and service year experience for our PCMs,” the statement read.
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) opened online registration for 2025 Batch C on November 4, with the process scheduled to run through November 9 for both foreign-trained and locally-trained graduates.
The scheme also outlined its mobilisation timetable, stating that pre-camp physical verification of credentials for foreign-trained graduates will take place from November 9 to 13, while ICT action is set for November 12 to 15.
Corps-producing institutions will oversee the online printing of deployment letters and the physical delivery of call-up letters between November 16 and 18, during which PCMs are also expected to print their call-up letters.
