ATS Score Checker for Government Jobs
& PSU Resume Analyzer

Yes. While traditional government recruitment (UPSC, SSC, state PSCs) does not use ATS for the civil services examination process, major PSUs (ONGC, BHEL, SAIL, NTPC, IOCL, GAIL, BPCL, Power Grid, HAL, BEL) and Central Government departments recruit directly via their portals and use automated keyword screening. Many PSUs use Workday or custom applicant tracking systems for lateral hire positions and specialist roles. For these roles, resume keyword matching against the official notification is critical.

For PSU technical roles, key ATS keywords depend on the domain: For oil and gas (ONGC, IOCL, GAIL, BPCL) — petroleum engineering, reservoir simulation, refinery operations, process safety, HAZOP, P&ID, piping design. For power sector (NTPC, Power Grid, NHPC) — power systems, transmission, load dispatch, grid management, switchyard, protection relay. For defence PSUs (HAL, BEL, DRDO) — aerospace systems, avionics, radar, electronic warfare, systems integration. Always match terms from the official recruitment notification.

Yes, completely free. No account or credit card required. Upload your resume, paste the job description or recruitment notification from the PSU careers portal, sarkariresult.com, or the official DOPT/DoPT notification, and get your ATS score with a full keyword gap analysis instantly.

For PSU lateral hire positions (typically Grade E1-E3 for experienced professionals), structure your resume to match the essential qualification (EQ) criteria from the notification exactly. Include: total years of post-qualification experience, domain-specific technical skills matching the JD, relevant certifications (PMP, Six Sigma, professional engineering certifications), regulatory/compliance knowledge (DPE guidelines, government procurement rules), and quantifiable achievements. Use .docx format, single-column, and include the post code or vacancy number.

For central government specialist roles posted by NIC, NITI Aayog, Ministry portals, and UPSC direct recruitment, key ATS keywords include the exact specialization from the vacancy notification, years of experience in the specified domain, educational qualifications (B.Tech, MBA, LLB, MBBS — as specified), relevant Acts and Regulations (e.g., Companies Act, Income Tax Act, SEBI regulations for finance roles), and specific government scheme experience where mentioned.

Yes. State government departments, autonomous bodies (NHM, SIDBI, NABARD, EXIM Bank), regulatory bodies (SEBI, RBI, IRDA, TRAI), and state PSUs post recruitment notifications with specific eligibility criteria. ATSAlign identifies which keywords and qualifications from the notification are missing from your resume, helping you tailor your application for each specific vacancy.

Yes, the check is free. Your first check needs no account: guests get 1 free check a day, and a free account gets 2. Each free check shows your full match score and the first 2 missing must-have keywords. The full keyword list and AI rewrites of your bullet points come with ATSAlign Pro, a one-time pass that never renews.

There is no official cutoff, because every employer sets up its ATS differently. On ATSAlign's own scale, 80% or higher means your resume covers most of the posting's key terms, and below 60% means many must-have terms are missing. Aim to add the missing terms that truly fit your experience, in the posting's own words.

ATSAlign works from the job description you paste, so you can use it for any job, whatever system the employer uses. It does not connect to any employer's ATS, and no outside checker can see how an employer has set up its system, so the score is ATSAlign's own estimate of how well your resume matches the job. ATSAlign is independent and is not affiliated with any ATS vendor.

Use the file type the employer's application form asks for. Each system documents different things: Workday HiredScore supports DOC, DOCX, PDF, RTF and TXT resumes, Greenhouse Recruiting can't parse resumes larger than 2.5 MB, and for federal jobs USAJOBS recommends uploading a PDF to keep your formatting and page count. Workday also says resumes without images or image-based styles give the best parsing results. ATSAlign checks both PDF and DOCX, so you can test the exact file you plan to send.

Check every time you apply to a new role. A resume that matches one job description well can match another poorly, because each posting asks for different skills and terms. Recruiters often search and filter applications in their ATS, so using each posting's own words, where they truly fit your experience, helps your resume turn up in those searches.

Not for your first check. Guests get 1 free check a day with no account, and a free account gets 2 a day. Each free check shows your full match score and the first 2 missing must-have keywords. The full keyword list and AI rewrites come with ATSAlign Pro.
