For Students

An ATS score checker that reads a student resume fairly.

Student resumes lose points for things that are not your fault: no job titles, no company names, no revenue numbers. The fix is to present coursework, projects, and campus roles in the shape a parser and a screener both understand.

How to score projects like experience

Give every project a role line: what you owned, not what the team built.

Name the stack inside the bullet. 'Built a Flask API serving 2,000 requests a day' beats 'web development project'.

Add one outcome per project, even an academic one: accuracy, runtime, users, grade percentile.

Link a repository or a live demo. It converts a claim into proof in one click.

What to cut from a campus resume

Objective statements, declarations, photos, and hobbies unless the posting asks.

Skill rating bars and star ratings. They score nothing and consume a third of the page.

School-level results once you have a degree in progress, unless the employer explicitly filters on them.

Frequently asked questions

Can students use an ATS checker for internships?

Yes. Paste the internship posting exactly as you would a full-time role; the scoring works the same way.

How many projects should a student resume list?

Two or three with depth. A list of eight shallow projects scores worse than two with numbers and links.

Should I include my CGPA?

Include it if it is above the threshold the posting names, or if the employer is a campus recruiter. Otherwise use the space for a project.

Is the student check free?

Yes, the first full analysis is free with no signup.
