How To Check NYSC Senate List 2026/2027 Step-by-Step Full Guide

What is the NYSC Senate List?

The NYSC Senate List is an official list of approved graduates from different institutions in Nigeria who are qualified to take part in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program for a particular batch.

If your name is not on this list, you cannot proceed to register for NYSC. So it’s important to check early and confirm your status.

How To Check NYSC Senate List Step by Step

Follow these simple steps to check if your name is on the NYSC Senate list:

Step 1: Visit the NYSC Portal

Open your browser (Chrome or Firefox is recommended) and navigate to the official NYSC Senate List portal:

https://portal.nysc.org.ng/nysc2/VerifySenateLists.aspx

Step 2: Select Your Institution

You will see a dropdown menu labeled “Institution.” Click it and type the name of your university, polytechnic, or college of education. Select your school from the list.

Step 3: Enter Your Particulars

Matriculation Number: Type your matric number in the provided box. Be careful with forward slashes (/) and spacing.

Surname: Enter your family name only. Do not add your first or middle name here.

Date of Birth: Use the date picker to select your Day, Month, and Year.

Step 4: Search

Click the “Search” button.

Step 5: Check Your Status

Scenario A (Success): If your records have been uploaded, your details (Name, Course, Class of Degree) will appear on the screen. Congratulations! You are ready for online registration.

Scenario B (Failure): You may see a red error message saying “No Record Found.”

Troubleshooting “No Record Found”:

• Contact Your School: Reach out to the Student Affairs Division or Departmental Secretary to confirm if your list has been uploaded or if there’s a delay/error in your details.
• Check JAMB Status: Verify your admission and matriculation status on the JAMB portal for potential regularization issues.
• Verify Data: Ensure your spelling and Date of Birth match exactly what your school has on record.

You Are Mobilized! What Next?

Once your name is confirmed, the clock starts ticking.

Online Registration: You will register on the NYSC portal, capture your biometrics, and select your preferred states of deployment (if applicable).

Call-Up Letter: A few days after registration, you will receive your Call-Up Letter showing the State you have been posted to and the Orientation Camp location.

This is where the reality sets in: You have to travel.

For many Corpers, this is their first time traveling across the country—from Lagos to Kano, or Enugu to Sokoto. The biggest worries are always safety, cost, and booking reliability. You don’t want to arrive at a motor park at 7:00 AM only to find tickets are sold out or the prices have doubled because of “camp rush.”

What to Do if Your Name Is Not on the Senate List

If your name is not on the list, don’t panic. Here are a few steps to take:

1. Contact your school’s Student Affairs Division to ensure that your name has been properly uploaded.
2. Make sure you have no outstanding issues like incomplete results, fees, or clearance.
3. Wait for the next upload if your school is still in the process of uploading lists.
4. Confirm that your details were correctly submitted — wrong spelling or date of birth can cause issues.
5. Keep checking the Senate list portal regularly as updates are made.
