Quick answer: The 2026 Batch B Stream 2 orientation camp is now ongoing — it opened Wednesday 5 August 2026 and closes Tuesday 25 August 2026 in all 36 states and the FCT.

When Is the Next NYSC Batch?

The batch currently in camp is 2026 Batch B Stream 2: camp opened Wednesday 5 August 2026 and closes Tuesday 25 August 2026, as announced by NYSC on 20 July 2026 through its Director of Information and Public Relations. The Director-General, Brig.-Gen. Olakunle Nafiu, specifically advised corps members against travelling at night to camp.

The next batch after this one is 2026 Batch C — NYSC has not announced its timetable yet (ignore blogs quoting exact November dates; nothing is official until NYSC publishes it).

What to do now:

• Mobilized for Batch B Stream 2? Call-up letters went live on the portal on Monday 3 August — print yours if you paid for online printing, otherwise collect it from your institution — then report to camp as soon as possible. Camp registration does not stay open for the full three weeks, so do not delay.
• No call-up number on your dashboard? You were likely not mobilized in this stream — confirm your name is on your institution’s approved senate list, then expect the Batch C window.
• Fresh graduates: the next full registration window (for Batch C) is expected around September/October 2026 — it will be announced on the portal.

NYSC 2026 Mobilization Calendar (Batch A, B & C)

Dates below are only “official” once NYSC publishes them. Camps run simultaneously in all 36 states and the FCT.

Note: the Batch B Stream 1 camp in Niger State was postponed (the Paiko orientation camp suffered storm damage) — affected corps members were camped 7–27 July 2026 at the NYSC permanent orientation camp, Kubwa (FCT), instead.

How NYSC Mobilization Works

The mobilization timetable is organised in stages, and each batch passes through the same sequence:

1. Senate list upload — your institution submits its Senate/Academic Board approved list to NYSC. Check the senate list guide.
2. Online registration — you create a profile on portal.nysc.org.ng, pick your preferred states, and (for foreign-trained graduates) book physical verification. The 2026 Batch B window ran 12 March–11 April 2026.
3. Call-up letters — deployment is released and you print your call-up letter from the portal (or collect it at your institution if you didn’t pay for online printing).
4. Orientation camp — the three-week camp on the dates in the calendar above.
5. PPA, CDS and clearance — the rest of the service year, ending with POP.

NYSC Camp Registration Requirements 2026

The documents below are mandatory. Ensure you bring them along to the NYSC camp.

Final-year ID card

You must bring your original final-year ID card and two (2) copies to the NYSC camp. Stop by your school’s Directorate of Students’ Affairs and ask for a “final year ID card.” Most schools issue a student identification card, which NYSC also accepts.

Please take note that NYSC does not recognise departmental ID cards.

Statement of result (B.Sc or HND)

You must provide your original statement of results along with photocopies. Do not travel to camp without it — you will not complete registration.

Foreign-trained graduates must show their original certificates. If you attended a polytechnic, bring both your ND and HND statements of results.

Prospective corps members (PCMs) in healthcare professions (doctors, pharmacists, optometrists, etc.) must also bring proof of completed internship or housemanship and a valid certificate from their professional council (e.g., MDCN, Pharmacy Council).

NYSC call-up letter

Bring the original of your call-up letter and four photocopies. It becomes available on the portal a few days before camp opens. Do not laminate it — camp officials will reject a laminated call-up letter.

NYSC green card

The green card is the print-out slip from your online registration. Bring the original and four (4) photocopies, printed in colour. Do not laminate it either.

Recent passport photographs

Bring eight (8) copies of your passport photo with a white or off-white background.

Medical certificate of fitness

Bring two (2) copies of a medical certificate of fitness issued by a government or military hospital in Nigeria.

What If My Name Is Not on the Senate List?

If your name is missing, it is usually an institution-side issue. Contact your school’s Directorate of Students’ Affairs to correct your records before registration closes — your school then forwards the corrected list to NYSC. Full details and common causes are in our approved senate list guide.

NYSC Mobilization Timetable FAQ

When is the next NYSC batch going to camp?

The 2026 Batch B Stream 2 camp is currently running, 5–25 August 2026, in all 36 states and the FCT. The next intake is Batch C — its timetable has not been announced; registration is expected around September/October 2026.

How many NYSC batches are there in a year?

Three batches — A, B and C — each split into Stream 1 and Stream 2. That gives roughly six camp intakes per year, spread from January to December.

What is the NYSC monthly allowance in 2026?

The Federal Government pays corps members ₦77,000 monthly, up from ₦33,000, in line with the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024. Some employers (PPAs) add their own stipend on top.

How do I register for NYSC?

Registration is done by you (or a cyber café on your behalf) at portal.nysc.org.ng once your institution’s senate list is uploaded and NYSC opens the window for your batch. You create a profile with the email/phone linked to your JAMB or school records, fill your details, and choose preferred states. Do not pay anyone who promises to “influence” your posting or “upgrade” your deployment — those offers are scams.

How much does NYSC registration cost?

The portal charges about ₦2,786 during registration — this covers online printing of your call-up letter (otherwise you collect it physically at your institution). If you register at a cyber café, expect a separate service charge on top. Confirm the current amount on the portal itself before paying.

Can I do NYSC after age 30?

If you graduate after your 30th birthday, you receive an exemption certificate instead of serving. If you graduated before turning 30, you can be mobilized at any age.
