How To Resolve 'No Record Found' Error On NYSC Senate List

Whenever Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) begin to prepare for the compulsory National Youth Service exercise, one issue they don’t envisage, which often happens, is the error message that reads, “No Record Found. Please contact your institution to confirm the approved list” when trying to verify their names on the Senate list published by their Institutions on the NYSC website ahead of mobilization.

This can be very tough to handle, especially when your friends’ names have started showing up on the Senate List and online registration is underway, yet you are stuck and unable to register while the deadline approaches.

Palpable fear often grips those who did not see their names during this time for the fear of being left out of mobilization after they have long planned for the moment.

The fear could be worse, especially when people with whom you graduated from the same institution have seen their names, but yours keeps flashing “No record found” as though your village people are following you.

How To Resolve The “No Record Found” Issue On The NYSC Senate List

The instructions below will help you address the problem of “No record found on the NYSC Senate list.”

1. Ensure You Provide Accurate Matriculation Number

Your Matriculation number is the personal identification number provided to you as a student by your school following the acceptance of your application for admission.

Most prospective corps members make this error. Your Matriculation Number must be entered accurately using the school format. Different schools use different formats, for example, 2022664120, 2012/5540/020, OUA/2011/020, and so on.

As a result, it is your responsibility to determine the correct format in which your school matriculation number is written.

Additionally, please in note that your matriculation number and JAMB registration number are two different numbers; some PCMs confuse them.

2. Ensure Your Surname Is Spelt Correctly

Some people believe that because their name was misspelled on JAMB, it will be corrected by typing or writing the correct spellings when submitting their name to their school.

Unless you asked for a name change through JAMB, the Surname as used in JAMB will most likely be used to upload your name.

3. Always Use Your First Name Over Your Surname

If your surname is not working, try using your first name instead of your surname, as your school may be using your surname and other names interchangeably.

When checking your name on the Senate list, try using all other names you have as Surname to see if any of them will work.

4. Ensure Your birth date Is Correct

Check that your Date of Birth is correct. It’s amusing how some students change their date of birth while still in school by just putting whatever they choose. They have graduated and have forgotten the one they provided to JAMB. Please try to remember and input your date of birth as it appeared on your JAMB.

Note that on occasion, the “year” dialogue box on the NYSC portal won’t ‘click’ when you click it to enter your birth year; just leave it that way and select the “Search” option after entering other information.

5. Make Contact With Your School

If you try the four suggested options above and still get “No record found…”, contact your institution to inquire about the status of the senate list.

If they say they haven’t submitted, don’t bother bothering them; instead, wait patiently until they do.

However, if they stated that they had submitted or if some students in your school have already seen their names on the list, then use option number 6 below.

6. Go Ahead And See If You Can Register Online

If online registration has begun, you should check in to the NYSC registration portal to see if you can register.

This is owing to the possibility that your name was uploaded to the portal by your school, but because of various faults in the NYSC system, you keep seeing the message “No record found”

So, if you attempt to register and it goes through or allows you to register without preventing you by displaying a notification that reads “Your Institution has not fulfilled the mandatory documents requirements” or anything similar, just grin and continue to register.

However, if it stops you again, calm and wait for your school’s senate list to be uploaded. DO NOT BE AFRAID; they will undoubtedly upload it. To put it another way.

If you try to register online and your information appears, proceed with the registration and disregard the Senate List. If you are unable to register online, please contact your school’s Directorate of Students’ Affairs.
