JAMB earlier announced that it had introduced two new science subjects to the UTME, which are Physical Eduation and Computer Science.
The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, made this known on Saturday.
“We are asking and sensitising the public, particularly the students, who are to take the exam, that these are two science subjects that will be added to their choice to widen opportunities for candidates to be able to access tertiary education,” he said.
