Choose a template
Academic Classic
FreeTraditional serif headings with numbered publications grouped by type, plus appointments, grants, teaching, and references. The safe, expected choice for academic committees.
ATS CV
FreeA plain, single-column Helvetica layout engineered to parse cleanly through every applicant tracking system. Pick this when you do not know how the institution screens.
Research Modern
₹699A coloured header band with dedicated space for ORCID and Google Scholar. Modern but restrained — keeps the focus on your research record.
Executive CV
₹699A formal serif name with accent dividers and a structured, authoritative layout for director, board, and C-suite international applications.
International CV
₹699A photo-forward two-column CV with a coloured details sidebar — the format expected across much of Europe, the Gulf, and many academic systems.
Which CV template should you use?
If you are applying for an academic, research, or faculty position, start with Academic Classic — it is the format committees expect, and it presents publications prominently. If the application is screened by software or you are unsure, ATS CV is the safest pick.
For roles in Europe, the Gulf, or academic systems that expect a photograph, choose International CV. For senior leadership and board-level positions, Executive CV strikes a formal, authoritative tone.
Everything built into every template
All five templates share the same comprehensive section set, so you can switch between them without losing any content:
- Profile / research statement and research interests
- Education with thesis titles, plus professional appointments
- Publications grouped by type — journal, book, chapter, conference, preprint
- Optional Grants & Funding, Teaching, Conferences & Talks, Honours & Awards, Memberships, References
- ORCID and Google Scholar fields, accent colour picker, Word + PDF export
- AI Generate for your profile statement, and CV file-import to pull from an existing document
Frequently asked questions
Are these CV templates really free?
Academic Classic and ATS CV are completely free to edit and download as Word or PDF. The three premium templates (Research Modern, Executive CV, International CV) require the one-time ₹699 Full Access bundle, which also unlocks every premium resume template and all eight paid AI tools.
Are the templates ATS-friendly?
Yes. The ATS CV template is built specifically to parse cleanly through applicant tracking systems, and every template uses real selectable text (not images), proper section headings, and standard fonts.
Can my CV be more than one page?
Yes — unlike a resume, a CV is expected to run multiple pages. Every template flows content across as many pages as your publications and history need.
Can I change the colours?
Yes. An accent colour picker recolours any template instantly, and the live preview updates as you type.
What is the difference between a CV and a resume template?
A resume template is built for a concise 1–2 page job summary; a CV template is built for a comprehensive, multi-page academic or international document with publications, grants, and teaching. See our CV vs Resume guide for which you need.
