  2. He/She has served in the in the armed forces of the federation or the Nigeria Police Force for a period of more than Nine month; or must be a member of staff of any of the following:
  • The Nigerian Security Organization or
  • The State Security Service or
  • The National Intelligence Agency or
  • The Defence Intelligence Service.

These categories of persons are therefore exempted from service and issued ?with certificate of exemption.

NOTE:?Those who graduated from a Part-time programme are to get letter of exclusion different from exemption.

Eligibility To Process NYSC Exemption Certificate

Nigerian graduates either home or oversea trained who have the stipulated qualification of (B.Sc, B.A, HND) from approved or accredited institution by (NUC, NTBE, NCCE) are eligible for exemption certificate.

However, foreign trained graduates must submit their certificates at the mobilization Department for Evaluation.

Process For Collection Of NYSC Certificate Of Exemption

HOME TRAINED GRADUATES

The process begin from the corp producing institutions.

  • The Tertiary Institution attended. The school submits the masters list of their graduates alongside with the senate approved results to NYSC.
  • A print-out is process by NYSC classifying those to be called up for service and those to be exempted. This print-out is sent back to the institutions for verifications and corrections after which they are returned to NYSC as an agreed/corrected document.
  • Also, with the print-out, the certificate of exemption are produced, documented, and sent back to the institutions for issuance o the appropriate person.

NOTE:?Collection of certificate of exemption for home trained graduates is only done in the institution of graduation and not in NYSC office.

FOREIGN TRAINED GRADUATES

  • The process begins with the evaluation of credentials and other related documents i.e. international passport.
  • After the evaluation of credentials the foreign trained graduate is then registered and this is physically done at the NYSC directorate headquaters, Abuja. It is at the point of registration that the classification of who to be called-up or who to be exempted; is determined.
  • Certificate of exemption are therefore produced for those exempted from the service.
  • Such certificate of exemption for foreign graduates are to be collected at the NYSC directorate headquaters at the stipulated time communicated.

PLEASE NOTE:?collection of certificate of exemption is grouped under the three batches of the service year, depending on the date of the registration. This will be communicated to exempted graduates at the point of registration.

Collection of certificate of exemption is strictly with identification such as international passport and the bearer must be physically present.

    This is just general info , published by NYSC on their official website that you just reprinted. Not in any way helpful. There are people who did some distance degree program that need the certificate but have issues with the so called passport verification . I thought your blog would make it easier for such people.

    The Nysc redeployment scheme was established based on three main

    factors, Marital or Health ground and recently added Security

    ground. But many of us only talk about redeployment if the state of

    deployment isn?t favorable to us or probably surrounded by life and

    death situation (Boko haram). Many corps members wants to redeploy

    to another state closer to home or if possible demobilized home, But

    what many don?t understand is the procedure to follow, who to

    approach, and on what grounds will a redeployment request be

    considered by NYSC board.i was opportuned to meet with one of the

    redeployment officer Mr Rufus which in turn has helped a lot of

    people you can easily get redeployed/relocated to any state of your

    choice and your primary place of assigement and for those who wants

    to get their exemption or exclusion should call Mr Rufus now on

    I am a foreign trained graduate. Do I first register on the nysc portal for my exemption letter and wait for them to call me to their office or do I just walk into their office for registration.

    Please I need your advice. I was shortlisted for this October batch. I tried registering online on the nysc portal. But when I got to the institution part, it was not dropping down for me to choose the school I finished from. With this, I got stocked. I just want to confirm if I am not to register online to get my exemption letter being a part time student or there is an issue somewhere.
