What’s NYSC Call Up Number?

NYSC Call Up Number is the combination of the abbreviation of National Youth Service Corps, the state where you’re posted to serve or where you’re serving, the institution from which you graduated (the institution that mobilized you), the year you’re posted to serve (if you like call it your batch year), and your unique number e.g NYSC/OY/BEN/2011/142356

What is NYSC certificate number?

Also called the NYSC discharge certificate number, your NYSC certificate number usually appears at the top right-hand corner of your NYSC certificate.

NYSC certificate number is simply the number that doesn’t have initials like NYSC/OY. It’s simply the certificate number which usually begins with A00 followed by a seven-digit number e.g A001432567.

Some online applications may ask for your NYSC Call-Up Number and NYSC Certificate Number as one of the checks to be sure you passed through the one-year mandatory service.
