Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Nestle required all its candidates to fill a form. It consisted of some HR type questions. Some of the questions were-

Mention your strengths/weaknesses.
What are your career goals?
Give one instance where you demonstrated leadership skills.
Give one instance where you failed.
The short listing for the next round was based on the CGPA. Almost all the students with CGPA greater than 6.5 or 7 from Production and Industrial Engineering got shortlisted for the next round.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The next round of the selection process was an interview. The interview was a mix of technical and HR questions. Nestle does put a lot of stress on family background of the candidate. Also they often ask questions like “Why don’t you go for MBA?” or “Why don’t you go for MS?” So every candidate should prepare answers to these questions. Some of the questions asked were-
1) Difference between accuracy and precision
2) 7 basic quality tools and 7 advanced quality tools
3) Histogram, Line diagram and Venn diagram
4) What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Another very specific question asked by the interviewers to almost every candidate was “Would you able to work/survive in a remotely located plant?” So the interested candidates should prepare an answer to this question. One can cite examples from his/her travelling experiences or stay at different places for considerable time periods to support their answer.
Tips: You can easily find the standard HR interview questions on the net. Some of the standard questions are like “Tell us about yourself”, “Where do you see yourself 5 years down the line”, “What are your strengths/weaknesses” etc. Prepare the answers, if not in full then at least the points, to all these questions. Think of some instances from your life or from your resume that you can use as examples while answering these questions.

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I referred to some of my seniors resumes for preparing my own resume. Then I prepared a rough draft and mailed it to some of my seniors who did a thorough review of my resume. I received some valuable insights from them and finally I prepared my final resume. While applying in different companies I only altered my “areas of interests”, for instance while applying in core companies I mentioned my areas of interest as the core subjects.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interview was mainly technical and the questions revolved around the topics like ‘Turbo Machinery’ and ‘Heat and Mass Transfer’. I had already asked my seniors about the kind of questions that might be asked and prepared for the interviews accordingly.
