NYSC Age Calculation - How To Calculate NYSC Age For Service



It is no longer news that you will not be mobilized if you are above 30 years of age while applying for the National Youth Service Corps Programme (NYSC), rather you will be issued NYSC exemption letter/Certificate. With respect to that, it is very important to ascertain whether or not you are too old for NYSC by calculating your age and making sure it's not above 30. 

HOW TO CALCULATE THE AGE WITH EXAMPLES

Lets assume that Obinna's date of birth is December 5th 1990.

  • Obinna graduated from his school on December 4th 2020, in this case Obinna is good and eligible to go for NYSC at any age he or she wants to, provided he finished school less than 30 years.

  • Obinna graduated December 6th 2020, Obinna will be given exemption letter due to the fact that he is above 30 years of age by a day (30 years + 1 day).

Note that the date of graduation from your institution is when the final result was approved by your school governing body which is the school senate body. That particular date of graduation is normally found on the body of your Statement of Result. The date of graduation of a PCM is also seen when they check for their details in the NYSC Senate List Portal.

As regards to which Date of Birth NYSC uses, NYSC decides which date of birth to use, it can be the one school sends them or they extract from your JAMB, but more often NYSC uses your JAMB date of birth for mobilization. 

Now how will you know which date of birth NYSC have decided to use, you can only ascertain which date of birth NYSC will use during and after your online registration because that's the only time you will see the date of birth being used by NYSC, so try to make sure the date of birth being used by your school and JAMB is below 30 years.

If the date of birth used by NYSC is wrong then warrants your age to be above 30 years and you have WAEC result that the age is below 30 YEARS, don't panic you will use the WAEC for the correction of your date of birth after NYSC online registration. CLICK HERE to see detailed guide on Date of Birth correction. Remember the age of the WAEC result you are using must be below 30 years.

    Good day Admin. Please concerning this Age of a thing. I wish to ask in my case.
    My date of birth I used in my WEAC and JAMB is my real date of birth which is 18/01/1993. I graduated and my result was approved 19th January 2022. Have been mobilized for batch C2 but my school didn't upload names on the NYSC portal. And now this January portal for registration is yet to be open. In 8days time I will be 30 years. So in this case what is my fate?
    I need urgent answer on this.

    1. There is need to register because that is the only way to obtain the exemption certificate

      Delete
  17. Please i want to ask, what if someone is 29years and 11months old as when his testimonial was issued. is the person still eligible for NYSC?
    even though they have passed 30 as at time of registration

  18. Check the date of graduation on your Statement or Notification of result and subtract your jamb date of birth from it. If it is above 30 years you cannot serve
