The National Service Scheme (NSS) has announced an extension of the registration deadline for the 2024/2025 service year. Originally set to conclude at the end of July, the new deadline for prospective National Service Personnel to complete their registration is now 31st August 2024.

This extension comes as a relief to many graduates who have faced various challenges in completing their registration on time. The NSS administration recognized the need for additional time to ensure that all eligible individuals have the opportunity to enroll without undue pressure or inconvenience.

Why the Extension?

Several factors influenced the decision to extend the registration deadline:

  1. Technical Difficulties: Many applicants experienced technical issues with the NSS registration portal, leading to delays and incomplete registrations. The extended deadline allows time to resolve these issues and for applicants to finalize their registration.
  2. Document Preparation: Gathering the necessary documents, such as academic certificates, identification cards, and other essential paperwork, has taken longer for some applicants than anticipated. The extension provides additional time to ensure all documents are correctly submitted.
  3. Public Health Considerations: In light of ongoing public health concerns, some prospective service personnel faced difficulties in accessing registration centers or completing medical examinations. The new deadline accommodates these challenges, ensuring no one is left behind.
  4. Increased Awareness and Accessibility: The NSS aims to ensure that all eligible graduates are aware of the registration process and have ample opportunity to complete it. Extending the deadline allows for increased outreach and support to those in remote or underserved areas.

  1. Visit the Official NSS Portal: Go to the NSS official website and log in using your unique credentials.
  2. Complete the Online Form: Fill in all required details accurately, ensuring that no section is left incomplete.
  3. Upload Necessary Documents: Ensure that all required documents, including academic certificates and identification cards, are scanned and uploaded correctly.
  4. Pay the Registration Fee: Complete the payment of the registration fee through the designated channels provided on the portal.
  5. Print and Keep Your Registration Slip: After successful registration, print out the registration slip and keep it safe for future reference.
