Understanding the NYSC Batch and Stream System
Everything about NYSC follows a plan, from registration to posting and passing out. The scheme is organised into batches and streams to manage the large number of graduates.
Each year is divided into three main batches: Batch A, Batch B, and Batch C. To manage numbers effectively, each batch is often further split into two groups, known as Stream 1 and Stream 2. If you are part of Batch C Stream 2 for 2025, your activities are part of the transition into the 2026 service year.
Breaking Down the Updated NYSC Timeline
Let us look at what the current and upcoming timelines mean for you as a prospective corps member.
For 2025 Batch C Stream 1 & 2
The orientation camp for 2025 Batch C Stream 1 is currently underway, having started on 19th November 2025. Corps members in this stream will conclude their camp on 9th December 2025.
Meanwhile, 2025 Batch C Stream II corps members, who were mobilised earlier, are preparing for the end of their service year. Their passing-out ceremony has been scheduled for Thursday, 18th December 2025. This will be a low-key ceremony held across all local government areas in the country for the distribution of Certificates of National Service.
Looking Ahead to 2026 Batch A Stream 1
For graduates waiting to be mobilised, the next group to go to camp will be 2026 Batch A Stream 1. While the official timetable from the NYSC is yet to be released, based on patterns from previous years, activities for this batch are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026.
This means the next online registration, Senate list uploads, and orientation camp will be for this batch. Prospective corps members should start preparing their documents now and follow official NYSC channels closely for the announcement.

Common Questions About the Current NYSC Timeline
I am in Batch C Stream 2. What does the passing-out date mean for me?
The passing-out date of 18th December 2025 is the official end of your one-year national service. On this day, you will collect your Certificate of National Service at a ceremony in your local government area. Ensure you have completed all clearance procedures with your Place of Primary Assignment and local inspector before this date.
I missed Batch C 2025. When is the next registration?
The next mobilisation will be for 2026 Batch A Stream 1. While official dates are not out yet, you should be prepared for activities to start in the first quarter of 2026. Use this time to gather all your necessary documents, such as your degree certificate and passport photographs.
How can I get accurate updates for 2026 Batch A?
To avoid fake news, always confirm information from official NYSC sources. Follow the verified NYSC website and social media pages. Be wary of urgent updates on unofficial WhatsApp groups that lack a direct link to an official NYSC statement. Genuine updates will always appear on the official NYSC portal.
Is there a difference between Stream 1 and Stream 2?
There is no major difference in the service experience. Both streams belong to the same batch and follow the same processes. The primary difference is their schedule—specifically, their camp reporting and passing-out dates.
