Only 40% of 2025 Batch C Corps Members to Attend Orientation as NYSC Releases Call-Up Numbers

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced the release of call-up numbers for 2025 Batch C Prospective Corps Members (PCMs). The scheme confirmed the update on its official X handle on Tuesday, noting that the numbers were issued based on the order of registration.

The NYSC highlighted that due to camp capacity limits across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, only about 40 percent of registered PCMs will be accommodated for the upcoming orientation programme. Those not placed in Batch C will be automatically deferred to the next exercise.

“Management remains committed to ensuring a smooth orientation and service year experience for all PCMs,” the NYSC added.

Online registration for Batch C opened on November 4 and ran through November 9 for both foreign-trained and locally-trained graduates. Pre-camp physical verification for foreign-trained graduates is scheduled for November 9–13, while ICT activities will take place from November 12–15. Corps-producing institutions will oversee the printing and distribution of call-up letters from November 16–18, during which PCMs are expected to print their deployment letters.
