What is NYSC Batch A Stream II 2026?

Batch A Stream II is the second mobilization wave for 2026, following Stream I (January-February camps). It accommodates locally and foreign-trained graduates whose institutions uploaded approved Senate lists after Stream I deadlines. Registration typically spans 7 days, leading to orientation camps in late April or May.

Over 200,000 corps members are mobilized yearly across batches, with Stream II handling spillover from polytechnics, universities, and mono-technics. Foreign-trained Nigerians undergo pre-camp verification March 24-28.
