Graduation List And Senate List Explained – MUST READ

The difference between the graduation list and senate list is clear but most of the time, prospective Corps Members can mix it together. There is no need for confusion or misunderstanding, just read to the end. At the end of this short article, you will be able to tell the difference.

The NYSC Graduation List is a simple list of graduates from a particular institution. This list is just a piece of evidence that you have graduated from an institution. Just from the name, the graduation list contains every name of graduates of a particular school.  As long as you are a bonafide graduate, your name will be on the graduation list.

The list does not mean your name is on the senate list, it does not mean you are automatically qualified for NYSC registration, and this list does not mean you will serve with this batch. The graduation list only shows that you are a graduate of a higher institution.

The Graduation list is different from the senate list and both are not the same thing. Now that you know about the graduation list, let me go ahead and explain the senate list.

NYSC Senate List

The NYSC Senate list is a special list of graduates qualified for NYSC compiled by your institution. The NYSC Senate list is the list that will inform NYSC about you as an individual.

There are processes and steps that the senate list has to pass through before it will appear on the NYSC Portal which will then enable you to do your NYSC registration.

Let me quickly highlight the procedure. Once your school paste the senate list at the DSA or place it on your portal, you will check and make some corrections if need be.

Then the list will be sent to Abuja and NYSC will do their own verification with Jamb to be sure all names are real graduates.

Then some other official steps will follow and the senate list will be uploaded on the NYSC portal. That is when you can now check the portal and verify your name.

Until this last step is taken, you will not be able to do your NYSC registration. I already have a full article on the NYSC Senate list and you can CLICK HERE to read the full article.

The senate list is very important while the graduation list is just a list. And it is possible for your name to be on the graduation list and not be on the senate list.

What you should worry about is the Senate List and not the graduation list. The purpose of the graduation list is just for you to check your name and be sure you are a graduate while the senate list is evidence that you have been mobilized for the coming NYSC batch.

I hope you now understand the difference between the graduation list and the senate list.
