BRDB Deputy Director Abdul Hakim said the test at Willes Little Flower School and College centre was cancelled immediately after it started at 3pm on Friday.
He said the board took the decision to cancel the test at that centre following the commotion over the seat plan.
Ramna Police Station Inspector Md Ali Hossain told bdnews24.com the BRDB had called 4,900 candidates for the test at the centre.
The number of seats, however, was found fewer than the number of candidates, he added.
The tests at four other centres in Dhaka – Motijheel Ideal School and College, Begum Badrunnesa Government Girls College, Eden Girls’ College and Dhaka University’s Faculty of Business Studies - were held without any disturbance, BRDB’s Hakim said.
According to him, 22,000 have applied for the 18 posts of Upazila rural development officials.
