Check your ATS score online, free, against any Indian job posting.

Most large Indian employers and every major job board route applications through an applicant tracking system before a recruiter opens them. This free scan shows you that filter in advance: paste your resume, paste the posting, and see the match score plus the requirements you never named.

What Indian recruiters filter on first

Role title and total experience are usually the first two filters, before any skill matching happens. If your headline says 'Software Developer' and the posting says 'Backend Engineer', fix the headline.

Location and notice period get parsed from plain text more often than people expect. Put both in your contact line rather than burying them.

Degree and graduation year matter for campus and early-career roles. Keep them in a standard Education section with a plain year, not an image or icon.

Common formatting traps in Indian resume templates

Two-column templates with a coloured sidebar are the single biggest cause of low parse scores. Move to a single column before you touch the wording.

Photos, declaration blocks, and signature lines add nothing to the score and eat the space your bullets need.

Tables used for skills matrices frequently parse as one run-on line. Use a plain comma-separated list instead.

Frequently asked questions

Is the ATS score check free in India?

Yes. The first full check is free with no signup. Pro plans are priced in rupees if you want unlimited checks.

Does Naukri use an ATS?

Job boards feed applications into the employer's applicant tracking system, and most mid-size and large Indian employers use one. Optimising for keyword match helps on every board.

What ATS score should I aim for?

Above 80 is strong, 60 to 80 means keyword work is needed, and below 60 usually points to a genuine gap or a layout the parser cannot read.

Do I need to change my resume for every job?

Change the headline, the summary, and the top three bullets. That is usually 10 minutes and moves the score more than a full rewrite.
