There are a few ways to achieve a placement to you desired PPA even before the registration for NYSC; the first way is to get a request letter from your desired firm and obtain a rejection letter from the default PPA given in orientation camp, the second means is to be an active official in platoon activities. E.g. Sport official; active officials usually get the opportunity to choose placement.

These mistakes are discussed and corrected as follows: Corpers should avoid being hasty with regards to making decisions about the place of primary assignment. You can do the monthly clearance without having been accepted by any place of primary assignment, PPA, for three months.
A common mistake is to accept any offer that comes your way just because other corpers have done documentation and have started to work. Take your time to ensure the job you have is relevant to your skills and qualifications. The number of times you’re rejected is not also a big deal. If the place of deployment has no need for your service at the period of your deployment, and you are considered an excess requirement, then it is no cause for alarm.
