Generic ATS tools were not built for you. We were.
Walk through any popular ATS checker online — Resume Worded, Jobscan, Zety — and you'll notice something immediately: they score your resume against generic templates designed for American or European job seekers. They don't know what TCS NQT is. They don't recognize InfyTQ. They don't understand why CGPA matters. They've never seen an Indian engineering JD.
When an IIT Bombay graduate with a 9.1 CGPA and three strong ML projects uploads their resume to a generic ATS checker, they often score 45–55. Not because the resume is bad — because the tool doesn't understand Indian resumes. It penalizes them for not having "work experience," doesn't recognize NPTEL certifications, and flags their CGPA format as incorrect.
This isn't a minor calibration issue. It's a fundamental mismatch. These tools were trained on US/UK job data. They're measuring you by the wrong ruler.
Indian campus placements operate on a completely different set of rules. Recruiters from TCS, Infosys, and Wipro look at a resume and immediately scan for: CGPA ≥ threshold, branch (CSE/IT preferred for software roles), relevant certifications (TCS NQT, InfyTQ), project complexity, and technical skill match.
Google India, Amazon, and Microsoft require a different approach — algorithm-heavy projects, open source contributions, and competitive programming achievements. But still within the Indian engineering graduate context, not the US new-grad context.
Every ATS checker tells you to "add keywords from the JD." That's step one — but it's not the full picture. Indian ATS systems also evaluate: section structure, parsing success rate, CGPA format, date formatting, file size, and — in more advanced systems — semantic relevance of your project descriptions.
A resume with 95% keyword coverage but a broken two-column layout will score lower than a resume with 75% keyword coverage and a clean single-column structure. Why? Because the ATS can't parse column-based text and treats large sections as blank — killing the score regardless of what's written there.
PlacementScore checks format compliance, parsing quality, keyword coverage, structural integrity, and CGPA prominence — giving you a holistic score, not just a keyword count.
Our scoring engine isn't just an ATS simulator — it models how Indian recruiters actually behave after the ATS filter. We've analyzed patterns across TCS NQT, Infosys InfyTQ, Wipro WILP, and Accenture ASE hiring cycles to understand what human recruiters look for after the automated pass.
Recruiters at Indian MNCs spend an average of 6 seconds on each resume that passes the ATS. In those 6 seconds, they check: (1) CGPA and college, (2) company name recognition in projects, (3) skill alignment with their current hiring batch, and (4) overall visual clarity. PlacementScore's Expert Plan gives you feedback on all four dimensions — not just the keyword count.
Calibrated against real TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and product company JDs from 2024–2026.
Understands Indian CGPA format, placement, and threshold implications.
Scoring benchmarks adjusted for IIT, NIT, Deemed, and state college students.
Detects column-based templates, images, and parsing-breaking elements.
Dedicated keyword guides for TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Accenture, and more.
Single composite score combining ATS, format, keyword, and completeness signals.
International tools are trained on US/UK job markets where work experience dominates, CGPA is irrelevant, and company-specific keywords differ entirely. They don't know what "TCS NQT," "InfyTQ," or "CGPA 8.4/10" means in the Indian recruitment context. Their keyword databases are wrong for Indian JDs.
Indian fresher resumes are judged by CGPA, college tier, branch of study, company-specific certifications (TCS NQT, InfyTQ), project quality, and Indian JD keyword alignment. US/UK resumes prioritize work experience, LinkedIn activity, and different skillsets. An ATS tool built for one cannot serve the other.
