You need to report at your SSB center (Allahabad railway station) before 1 p.m.of your arriving date.The army men will be there and they will recruit you to the SSB center. If by any means you reached there after 1 p.m. then you have to manage yourself ,way to SSB center.No exam will happen on the first day so don't worry.Just take a auto for the bridge(as its called there).After crossing the bridge turn left and within half mile you will find SSB center.
