        Most companies in India use an ATS to collect resumes. If it can't read yours, a recruiter may never see it.

        What an ATS Actually Reads

        An ATS doesn't see your design. It pulls out plain text. Here is a 2-column resume, as people see it and as many ATS read it:

        What you seeSKILLS      EXPERIENCE
        Excel        Sales Executive
        Tally        Jan 2023 - Present
        GST          Closed 45 deals
        What the ATS readsSKILLS EXPERIENCE
        Excel Sales Executive
        Tally Jan 2023 - Present
        GST Closed 45 deals

        Your skills get glued to your job title and dates. The checker above shows this view for your own resume, so you can see the problem for yourself.

        How Your ATS Score Is Calculated

        Fixed rules, so the same resume always gets the same score.

        CheckPointsWhat it looks at
        ATS can read it30Columns, tables, text boxes, icons, header contact, text order
        Content strength25Numbers in points, action words, length, "I", spelling, filler words
        Sections15Standard headings: Summary, Experience, Education, Skills, Projects
        Contact details10Email, phone, LinkedIn, city, extra personal details
        Dates10One date style, overlaps, gaps, "Present" used once
        Length and file10Pages, word count, file name, file size

        Pasted text skips the layout check, so its score is worked out from the other 70 points.

        What Is a Good ATS Score?

        Top Reasons Resumes Fail ATS in India

        Personal Details: MNC vs Government vs Gulf Jobs

        The checker flags these, and tells you when you can safely keep them.

        Weak Points vs Strong Points

        Start with an action word, add a number, say the result. The checker rewrites your own weak points this way.

        Your Resume Stays on Your Phone

        Most ATS checkers upload your resume to their servers. Your resume has your phone number, email and address.

        Here everything is read inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or shared.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        What is an ATS score? +

        It shows how easily an Applicant Tracking System (the software companies use to collect and filter resumes) can read your resume. A high score means your name, contact, sections, dates and skills come through clearly. It is a readability score, not a promise of a shortlist.

        What is a good ATS score? +

        70 or above is good, and 85 or above is excellent. Below 50, fix the layout first: one column, no tables, no text boxes, and contact details in the main text.

        Is this ATS score checker free? +

        Yes. It is free, with no login and no limit on checks. Fix your resume and check it again as many times as you like.

        Is my resume uploaded anywhere? +

        No. Your resume is read inside your own browser, on your phone or computer. Nothing is sent to our server or stored.

        How do I increase my ATS score fast? +

        Do the top fixes the checker shows first, they carry the most points. Usually: move to one column, put contact details in the main text, use standard headings, and add numbers to your points.

        ATS score kaise check kare? +

        Upload your resume (PDF or Word) above. In about 30 seconds you get the score out of 100, the top fixes, and the exact text an ATS reads. It works on mobile too.

        Is a Canva resume ATS friendly? +

        Often not. Many Canva templates use 2 columns, icons and text boxes, so an ATS reads lines in the wrong order or skips them. Check yours here: if the "What the ATS reads" view looks jumbled, rebuild it in one column.

        Should I upload my resume as PDF or Word? +

        Both work if the file is made properly. A PDF exported from Word or Google Docs is safest. A scanned PDF or a photo of your resume cannot be read by any ATS.

        Should I add a photo, date of birth or father's name? +

        For private companies and MNCs, no. They take space and some ATS skip photos. For government, PSU or Gulf jobs, follow what the form or employer asks for.

        What is a good ATS score for freshers? +

        The same 70+ target. Freshers are checked against fresher rules: 1 page, with Education, Skills and Projects or Internships. Work experience is not expected.

        Is Naukri's resume score the same as this? +

        No. Naukri scores your profile inside its own site. This checker shows how any ATS reads your resume file, so you can fix it before uploading to Naukri, LinkedIn or a company career page.

        Why is my score different on other ATS checkers? +

        Every checker uses its own rules. Ours shows every rule and the points for each, so you can see exactly why you got your score. The same resume always gets the same score here.

        Does a high ATS score guarantee an interview? +

        No tool can promise that. A high score means the ATS can read your resume properly. The job still needs the right skills and experience, which a recruiter decides.
