During a conversation with a corporate HR representative, how would you handle a difficult or challenging question about IIT Ropar's placement statistics?

Research: Before the conversation, make sure you have all the necessary information about IIT Ropar's placement statistics. This includes the percentage of students placed, the average and highest salary package, the companies that visit for campus placements, etc.

Understand the Question: Listen carefully to the question asked by the HR representative. Make sure you understand what they are asking before you respond. If you are unsure, ask for clarification.

Stay Calm: It's natural to feel nervous when asked a difficult question. However, try to stay calm and composed. This will help you think clearly and give a better response.

Be Honest: If you don't know the answer to the question, it's better to admit it rather than giving incorrect information. You can say something like, "I'm not sure about that, but I can find out and get back to you."

Provide Detailed Information: When answering the question, provide as much detail as possible. This will show that you are knowledgeable and have done your research.

Follow Up: After the conversation, if you promised to find out more information, make sure you do so and follow up with the HR representative. This will show your commitment and professionalism.
