There are a total of 13 SSBs across India. Out of these thirteen, four are for the Indian Army, four are for the Indian Air Force, and five are for the Indian Navy.
The SSB interview takes place for four to five days. They conduct various tests to examine your mental approach to situations, lifestyle, and working nature. SSB Indian Army interviews follow a unique pattern and procedure that reflects the actual personality and physiology of the candidates.

In the former test, you get 50 questions based on Quantitative Aptitude and Verbal & Non-verbal Reasoning. You get 30 minutes to solve the questions.
In the PPDT test, you will see a static picture on the screen/projector for 30 seconds. You have to analyze the picture and frame a story depending on your thoughts and perception.
