Not even the people involved in the board know the exact reasons why a candidate is selected or rejected; similarly, they are kept alien to some procedures. Thus it is very difficult to say anything regarding this question. Yet a lot of things direct my answer to yes.

You are made to fill up this section in PIQ and even at the time when you fill you written application (Or direct application). This question comes again and again; it would be pointless to ask if they had nothing to do with it.
There have been cases when people have lied about being a fresher and post recommendation have landed into trouble.
There is a unique identification number given to your application. This definitely goes into their record.
You are made to submit certain documents, again which becomes a part of their record.
Most of the records are maintained online, it is not rocket science to mine this data and get the information. Hence all your information is just a click away.
Once a candidate is recommended a lot of follow up is done regarding his background and other details.
The background check involves every detail related to the candidate, police verification, and re-confirming from two gazette officers who know the candidate. So chances are it involves checking the record of the candidate’s previous SSB attempts too.

Some of you may say that you have lied about your SSB attempts and never got caught (I can vouch that no recommended candidate would have ever pulled this off). Here are the reasons you shouldn’t lie about your previous SSB attempts:

Because honesty is the first virtue of an officer. You have gone there to become an officer, do you think you should by-pass the first and most important thing which an officer should have.
They are experts in catching lies. They are like those mechanics who on seeing equipment can tell what is wrong with that.
If you lie you are risking your career. Chances are that you’ll get caught and be thrown out, and if that happens after recommendation, they’ll make sure you are banned from joining the forces. Forever.
The groups in SSB are made according to the attempts. For example freshers are put together, repeaters together and so on. If you lie, you’ll be put in a wrong mix, it’ll be easier for them to catch your lie.

So yes if you ask me, I would say, that they do keep a record of past attempts. Never lie.
