Every year, thousands of Nigerian graduates look forward to one big thing — NYSC mobilization. But before you can go for service, your name must appear on the NYSC Senate List. If your name is not there, you won’t be able to register or get a call-up letter.
This guide explains everything you need to know about the NYSC Senate List in Nigeria for 2025. Whether you are in Batch A, B, or C, this article will show you how to check your name, what to do if it’s not there, and how to fix any issue.
What Is the NYSC Senate List?
The NYSC Senate List is the official list of approved graduates submitted by Nigerian universities and polytechnics to NYSC. If your name is not on the list, you are not qualified to serve in that batch.
It’s like the green light from your school telling NYSC: “This person has graduated and is ready for NYSC service.”

The NYSC Senate List is usually released in phases, depending on the batch:
