Final Clarification on NYSC Mobilization for Polytechnic Graduates

The Federal Government has provided a final clarification on the mobilization of polytechnic graduates for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). The new directive confirms that all Higher National Diploma (HND) full-time graduates are now eligible for NYSC, regardless of their National Diploma (ND) study mode.

Key Points from the Update:

1. HND Full-Time Graduates Eligible for NYSC
   • All HND full-time graduates will be mobilized for NYSC, even if they completed their ND through a part-time program.
2. No Discrimination Against ND Part-Time Graduates
   • ND part-time students who later pursued HND full-time are now eligible for NYSC. Their ND study mode will no longer affect their mobilization.
3. HND Part-Time Graduates Ineligible
   • HND part-time students will not be mobilized for NYSC. The part-time HND program is primarily designed for working-class individuals, who will instead receive an exclusion letter.
4. JAMB Regularization Halted
   • The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has stopped the regularization process as of 2024.
5. “P” Registration Number Issue Resolved
   • Graduates with “P” on their registration number will still be eligible for NYSC, as long as they completed an HND full-time program.

Eligibility Breakdown:

• ND Part-Time + HND Full-Time = Eligible
• ND Part-Time + HND Part-Time = Not Eligible
• ND Full-Time + HND Full-Time = Eligible
• ND Full-Time + HND Part-Time = Not Eligible

Clarification on HND Evening Programs

While only HND full-time graduates are officially eligible, some polytechnics still mobilize evening students for NYSC. Affected students should contact their institutions to confirm their status.
