I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at PayPal (Chennai) in Sep 2017
Interview
PayPal 2017 Placement Drive was held using guvi.in website
First Round consist of 30no of MCQs involving section like Aptitude (Logical and Quants),Programming basics (find error, give output, theoretical concepts, etc) all the 30 Questions were really easy if you have basic knowledge about all.
Second Round ( Online Coding Round):
If you have cleared round 1 you will be automatically directed to round 2.
In this round we had 3 categories like Easy,Hard, Tough of each coding question each and the best part was easy was of difficult type and medium was of easy type and difficult was of to difficult type!
You are allowed to compile limited number of times for each question and you have to give input and output for your code to check whether your code execute successfully or not as that compiler doesn't show what error it has. It just says "Success or Fail".
You won't have much time to read and code all three questions, so you have to work fast to complete within stimulated time! (Hint: Use Python for faster completion and save time)
If you had got output for all three question, then you will be able to attend the later process of placement drive and i didn't get through so i don't have much idea about the later rounds :(
Hope this helps you all a lot to get an overall idea :)
All the best :)

I had a recruiter call and they said they would send me a link to a Karat interview round in a week but I never received it. I mailed the recruiter multiple times but got no response or communication about it

I interviewed 2 round, one front end, one hire manager, but didn’t move forward. The hr is helpful, the hire manager round asked about system design questions, which I feel may cause the rejection.
