How does the NYSC posting system work?

NYSC posting is not only about preference. It involves mobilisation records, available slots and NYSC's deployment process.

Quick answer

NYSC posting starts from school mobilisation and registration records, then NYSC deploys eligible graduates to states and later to places of primary assignment. Relocation may be possible only under approved grounds and official processes.

What happens before posting

Your institution uploads graduate records for mobilisation. Details such as name, date of birth, course and graduation status must be correct.

Errors before mobilisation can affect call-up, camp registration or certificate details.

  • Senate list
  • JAMB record
  • School record
  • NYSC registration
  • Call-up letter

State and PPA

After call-up, corps members report to orientation camp in the assigned state. Place of primary assignment comes after camp according to NYSC process and available placements.

Do not pay people promising guaranteed state posting.

Relocation

Relocation is handled through official grounds and evidence. False documents can create disciplinary problems.

Checklist

  • Check mobilisation record
  • Verify name and DOB
  • Register correctly
  • Print call-up letter
