Are you searching for the NYSC POP date for 2026, the NYSC POP timetable for 2026, or the NYSC POP calendar for 2026? You’re in the right place.
The official 2026 NYSC Passing Out Parade (POP) dates are not yet released by the National Youth Service Corps management. However, based on the consistent pattern of the past 5 years, here is the most accurate proposed NYSC POP schedule for 2026 that Corps Members and prospective Corps Members rely on.
Proposed NYSC POP Schedule 2026 (All Batches)
| Batch/Stream | Orientation Camp Ended | Proposed POP Date 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| NYSC Batch A1 POP | March 2025 | April 2026 |
| NYSC Batch A2 POP | April 2025 | May 2026 |
| NYSC Batch B1 POP | June 2025 | July 2026 |
| NYSC Batch B2 POP | August 2025 | September 2026 |
| NYSC Batch C1 POP | October/November 2025 | November 2026 |
| NYSC Batch A1 POP | January/February 2026 | January 2027 |
Note: These are projected dates based on the standard 12-month service year + 3 weeks orientation = approximately 13 months from camp opening to POP. NYSC has maintained this exact timing since 2021.
Where Will POP Hold?
POP venue depends on NYSC instructions in your state:
- Most states: POP is held at the NYSC State Secretariat or an approved parade ground.
- Some cases: POP may be held at Local Government (LG) levels or zonal venues depending on security/logistics.
- FCT (Abuja): POP arrangements are communicated by the NYSC FCT directorate.
Always follow your State Coordinator and LG Inspector (LGI) updates.
