How ATS Screening Works in India
When you apply to a large recruiter, your resume may be screened by ATS software before reaching a human. The software parses your resume text, extracts skills and keywords, and compares them against the job description.
- 70-100% match (Green): Strong match with the job description
- 41-70% match (Yellow): Borderline — some important keywords are missing
- 0-40% match (Red): Weak match — major keywords are missing
- Formatting matters too: ATS can't read tables, images, or multi-column layouts
- Companies use different systems, so a simple single-column format is the safest choice

Tips to Improve Your ATS Score
Once you see your score and missing keywords, here's how to fix your resume without keyword stuffing.
- Add missing technical skills to your Skills section if you genuinely have them
- Weave keywords into project descriptions naturally
- Use exact phrasing from the JD (e.g., 'Object-Oriented Programming' not just 'OOP')
- Include both acronyms and full forms: 'DBMS (Database Management System)'
- Don't add skills you can't back up — interviewers will ask about everything

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ATS score and why does it matter?
An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) score measures how well your resume matches a job description's keywords. Most companies in India — including TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and Cognizant — use ATS to automatically filter resumes before a human sees them. A score below 60% usually means your resume gets rejected automatically.
How does FresherResume's ATS score checker work?
Paste your resume text and a job description (or use our preset JDs for TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant). Our tool extracts keywords from the JD, checks which ones appear in your resume, and calculates a match score from 0-100. It shows you exactly which keywords matched and which are missing.
Is the ATS checker really free?
Yes, 100% free with no sign-up required. You can check your resume against any job description as many times as you want. We also provide preset job descriptions for major Indian companies so you can check instantly.
What ATS score should I aim for?
Aim for 70% or above. Scores above 70% (green) have a high chance of passing ATS screening. 41-70% (yellow) means you need to add more keywords. Below 40% (red) means your resume needs significant keyword optimization before applying.
Can I check my resume against specific company JDs?
Yes. FresherResume has preset job descriptions for TCS NQT, Infosys, Wipro NLTH, and Cognizant GenC — the top mass recruiters for Indian freshers. Just click the preset button and instantly see how your resume scores against that company's typical requirements.
