In a major update for Nigerian graduates, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has officially released call‑up numbers for the 2025 Batch C prospective corps members (PCMs), marking the next critical phase in the orientation and mobilisation exercise. The announcement, made earlier today via NYSC’s verified social media handles, has generated considerable excitement and anticipation among graduates nationwide.
Key Details of the Call‑Up Release
- The release of call‑up numbers comes in line with the approved mobilisation timetable for Batch C, following the successful completion of online registration.
- Approximately 40 percent of registered PCMs are expected to be accommodated in this batch, reflecting camp capacity limitations across Nigeria. The remaining graduates will automatically be deferred to the next orientation exercise.
- Prospective corps members are advised to check their NYSC dashboards immediately to confirm inclusion in this batch.
- Online printing of call‑up letters is scheduled to commence 16–18 November 2025, ahead of the orientation camp, which is slated to begin 19 November 2025 for Stream 1.
Why This Release Matters
The release of call‑up numbers is a pivotal milestone in the NYSC mobilisation process. It provides clarity for thousands of graduates on their immediate service status. The limitation of camp capacity highlights the importance of early action, preparation, and accurate documentation. How the NYSC manages this batch, given the reduced intake, will be closely observed, particularly regarding camp logistics, safety measures, and communication with deferred candidates.
