    2. I tried using the change course button to change my degree type and it has been showing pending for the past 12days. Why is this so? Has anybody used it successfully? Can this be changed in camp with ease? I'm really worried, Please help!

    3. Thank you for your post. On the contrary, the #300naira for the WAEC Verification Pin is not an accurate info sir. I paid #1500 for just 1unit on the waecverificationpin.com.

      Upon following the instructions stated here on the NYSC Reg page, I clicked​ the "Place Request" with a success message on the screen. But, till now my dashboard still shows "Change D.O.B WAEC" and neither does it shows "mobilize" nor "pending either.

      What am I to do next?
