Two new subjects have been introduced by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for the upcoming UTME.
The subjects are – Computer Studies and Physical and Health Education, according to a report by NAN.
The board disclosed this in its weekly bulletin released by the Director of Public Relations, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, and made it available to newsmen in Abuja on Monday.
It said that candidates sitting for the UTME could now pick Computer Studies or Physical and Health Education as part of the four required UTME subjects, if they so desire or as dictated by their programme preferences.
