Why the NYSC Letter of Evaluation

In Nigeria, there are some tertiary institutions that are banned from taking part in NYSC. Because they are not accredited by the National University Commission (NUC) or other regulatory agency;

So, there are many other institutions operating illegally outside the shores of Nigeria. Hence, the NYSC management wants to fish out graduates from those fake foreign institutions.

Also, NYSC check accreditation of course or programme. This is because some institutions are not allowed to offer a particular course or programme.

However, the National University Commission (NUC) has cautioned Nigerians from studying in Ghana, Niger, Togo, Benin Republic, and so on. Maybe it’s because most of the institutions in those countries do not have accreditation.

During evaluation processes, the ministry of education will check the accreditation status of your institution. Make sure your institution is accredited before applying for NYSC; if in doubt it’s your responsibility to visit the Federal Ministry of Education for confirmation.

When you get the NYSC evaluation letter, scan and upload it on your NYSC dashboard. It will take few weeks to reflect.
