How Long Does It Take To Get NYSC Call-Up Number?

If you are a prospective corps member (PCM) who has registered for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program, you might be wondering how long it will take to get your call-up number.

The call-up number is a unique identification number that is assigned to each PCM by the NYSC management. It is used to verify your identity and eligibility for the program, and also to determine your state of deployment.

The call-up number is usually sent to your email address and displayed on your dashboard on the NYSC portal after you have completed your online registration and made the required payment. However, the time it takes to get your call-up number may vary depending on several factors, such as:

• The batch and stream you belong to: The NYSC program operates in batches and streams, which are groups of PCMs that are mobilized at different times of the year. Each batch has two or three streams, depending on the number of PCMs available. The call-up numbers for each batch and stream are released separately, usually a few weeks before the orientation course begins.
• The availability of slots in your preferred state of deployment: The NYSC management tries to accommodate the preferences of PCMs when assigning them to states of deployment, but this is not always possible due to limited slots and other factors. If your preferred state of deployment is full, you may have to wait longer to get your call-up number, as the NYSC management will try to find an alternative state for you.
• The technical issues on the NYSC portal: Sometimes, the NYSC portal may experience technical glitches or downtime, which may delay the processing and delivery of call-up numbers. If this happens, you should be patient and check your email and dashboard regularly for updates.

In general, it may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to get your call-up number after you have registered for the NYSC program. You should not panic or worry if you do not receive your call-up number immediately, as long as you have completed all the necessary steps and followed the instructions on the NYSC portal.

You should also avoid falling for scams or fraudsters who may claim to help you get your call-up number faster or change your state of deployment for a fee. The only official and legitimate way to get your call-up number is through the NYSC portal.
