Before proceeding with your NYSC registration, it’s advised to go to the NYSC portal login dashboard 2023. A list of activities you can carry out on the portal will be discussed here.
Many fresh graduates from various institutions in Nigeria and abroad are always anticipating the season of Nysc registration and mobilization into the Nigeria Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
If you belong to the category mentioned above, count yourself lucky as this article will feed you with the essential information you need regarding registration, mobilization, accessing the NYSC portal login dashboard Nigeria, and of course, solutions to some mistakes that can be made during the registration process.
The Nigeria Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is an independent body set up in 1973 by the Nigerian government to promote national unity.
Since its establishment, all full-time graduates from various institutions are required to serve the nation for one year.
However, there are few exceptions to those who can serve, including the disabled, part-time graduates, and those above the age of thirty or 30 at the time of their graduation.
The latter category of people is given a certificate of exemption in place of the NYSC certificate.
It’s also pertinent to note that to be eligible for registration in the Nigeria Youth Service Corps, you must have fulfilled the guidelines given by this body and its collaborating bodies.
What are these guidelines? And what are the collaborating bodies working with NYSC?
Many don’t know that NYSC works hand in hand with certain bodies to regulate the proper mobilization and registration of graduates.
These bodies include Nigeria University Commission (NUC), National Board For Technical Education (NBTE), and the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB).
NUC oversees the list of names forwarded for Participation in the NYSC exercise by universities and other degree-awarding institutions. At the same time, the NBTE also scrutinizes those of graduates from polytechnics and monotechnics.
The Joint Admission Matriculation Board is not also left out as names of graduates given for consideration, if not found on JAMB’s Portal for regularization will be rejected.
All these bodies, along with the Nigeria Youth Service Corps, then review graduates eligible for registration and mobilization.
Now to the nitty-gritty of this subject matter, if you fulfilled the above requirements, congratulations. Here is an explanation of how to register.
It’s worth noting that registration comes in Batches and Streams, so you are expected to keep up with the latest updates from time to time so as not to miss the opportunity.
The information I’m about to share is the direct guidelines given by the Nigeria Youth Service Corps management for everyone eligible for registration.
How to Login to your NYSC Portal Login Dashboard
You can follow any of the links below to start your NYSC registration in 2023. The Website address is any of the following:
Prospective Corps members should ensure that they have functional e-mail addresses that they can access and Nigerian (GSM) telephone numbers with which to register.
They will use the Email address and password to log in to the NYSC portal subsequently and so are advised to keep it safe.
Locally trained prospective Corps members must use correct Matriculation numbers to register.
For locally-trained graduates, only those whose names appear in the Senate/Academic Board Approved Result lists submitted by their Institutions will have access to the register on the NYSC portal.
Foreign-trained prospective corps members/those who acquired online qualifications should ensure that their Institutions are accredited.
They should approach the Federal Ministry of Education for evaluation. The letter of evaluation must be uploaded during registration.
