NYSC Biometrics Desktop Client for Windows

Due to the high level of complaints by prospective corps members that they were not able to capture their biometrics fingerprints, NYSC have finally decided to emulate JAMB by introducing a bio-metrics desktop client that lets you take your fingerprints capture without using the browser.

Prior this time, NYSC registration had always been solely dependent on the web browser, from the sign up stage to the biometrics capturing and to the completion of the registration, all of this is done with the aid of a web browser.

However, the most challenging of all of the registration process for prospective corps members and for cyber cafes who are responsible for registering the the prospective corpers is the fingerprinting stage of the registration.

JAMB on it’s part have regularly tried to find solution to this problem by given users alternative ways of taking fingerprints during registration by proving offline options for biometrics. And this has really helped improved the JAMB registration process because the percentage of those who uses the web client for biometrics capturing have reduced significantly.

WAEC and NABTEB on the other hand too have completely moved away from from using the web client for fingerprints capturing even though it is the most secure and reliable way for users. They have moved to native windows applications for handling data capturing which can be done offline as in the case of WAEC.

NYSC and NECO still rely solely on the browser based web client for fingerprints biometrics capture. Until today when NYSC opened it’s portal for the registration of 2016 Batch B prospective corps members, and behold, the Desktop Client was made available.
