Difference Between NYSC Revalidation And Remobilization

Re-validation

“I have been deployed in a previous NYSC batch but did not show up in camp”

In another form, you have been deployed to a state by NYSC and you refuse to show up at camp. After deployment, you are supposed to go for an orientation exercise.

Still not clear? let me use an example.

Opeyemi belongs to NYSC 2018 Batch A Stream I or II. The management deployed him to Kaduna but he refused to go to the orientation camp. Opeyemi is now ready for NYSC and wants to join NYSC 2019 Batch B or C, all he will need to do is REVALIDATE.

Whether you have completed your registration or not, whether you have printed your call-up letter or not, as long as you did not go to camp during the previous batch, you will revalidate.

Re-Mobilization

“I have been mobilized in a previous NYSC batch but absconded from service a few months after the orientation camp”

In this instance, you attended the orientation camp, did the normal registration on camp and then ran away. You will have to do remobilization.

Still not clear? let’s continue with our example above.

Opeyemi belongs to NYSC 2018 Batch A Stream I. The management deployed him to Kaduna and he was present at orientation camp. After orientation camp, he served for a few months and then he ran away.

Opeyemi is now ready for NYSC and wants to join NYSC 2019 Batch A or B, all he will need to do is REMOBILIZE.


In summary, Revalidation is for people who have registered with any previous batch but refused to show up at the orientation camp. Revalidation is specifically for people who absconded from their NYSC service after the orientation camp.

  1. Please how can I revalidate after being mobilized consecutive times ( Batch B stream 1 & 2) but unfortunately couldn’t meet up and now ready during Batch C?

  2. Please how can I revalidate after being mobilized in 2 consecutive times ( Batch B stream 1 & 2) but unfortunately couldn’t meet up and now ready during Batch C?

  3. Hello, can I revalidate in the same stream? For example I have been mobilized for Batch C stream 1 and I want to be in Batch C stream 2.

  4. What I got was Sorry! You are not in this stream we will notify you when to print your call up letter. Does than mean I will be on Batch C stream 2?

      1. So worried because I registered the day registration started and why am I not in the 1st stream. When will the second stream be?

        1. Good day, I do not know if you are also an NYSC staff, in my case, i could not complete my registration because my documents were not complete and I left camp as I could not partake in the SWEARING IN which converts one from a PCM to a Corper, on being confused about the revalidation/remobilization issue I enquired from a staff, I was informed i will REVALIDATE, not REMOBILIZE.
          So if I am not mistaken, revalidation is for those who did not get to be sworn in(these are still PCMs), while remobilization is for those who had COMPLETED registration, been SWORN in but for one reason or the other could not complete serving during the service year

      1. I was mobilized with batch C stream 2 last year but I did not register. Pls do I need to revalidate or remobilize for 2020 batch A?

        1. Pls Lola, if I see my name on the 2020 Batch A or B (any stream) lists and am not really ready to register for deployment, can I revalidate with Batch C and go with Batch C (any stream)

  5. Hi, in a situation where I was deployed to say, katsina state and I did not go to camp or complete my registration, it means I will revalidate, if I revalidate, does this mean I will still end up in Katsina State or another State.
    And no 2) in a situation where I left camp before the end of camping according to you I will remobilize, will I be remobilized to another state or the same state where I absconded from camp.
