EXPLAINED: How Many Times Does NYSC Mobilize in a Year?

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilizes corps members three times a year. The mobilization exercises are usually held in March, June, and November.

However, there have been instances where NYSC has mobilized corps members twice in a year. This was the case in 2015 and 2020.

Why Does NYSC Mobilize Corps Members Three Times a Year?

There are several reasons why NYSC mobilizes corps members three times a year. One reason is to ensure that all eligible graduates have the opportunity to participate in the NYSC program. Another reason is to spread out the mobilization process so that it does not put too much strain on the NYSC infrastructure.

What are the different NYSC batches?

There are three different NYSC batches: Batch A, Batch B, and Batch C. Batch A corps members are mobilized in March, Batch B corps members are mobilized in June, and Batch C corps members are mobilized in November.

What is the NYSC mobilization process?

The NYSC mobilization process is as follows:

1. Corps Producing Institutions (CPIs) submit the list of prospective corps members to NYSC.
2. NYSC screens the list of prospective corps members to ensure that they meet the NYSC requirements.
3. NYSC releases the mobilization list.
4. Prospective corps members who have been mobilized are required to report to the NYSC camp in their state of origin.
5. After the orientation camp, corps members are deployed to their places of primary assignment (PPA).
