Official institutional methodology | Medline Academy® | Thiruvalla, Kerala, India
Purpose: This reference explains how Medline Academy® describes NCLEX-RN student outcomes, interprets its published success figures, distinguishes student reports from official examination results, and addresses privacy, statistical limitations and corrections. It is an institutional disclosure, not an independent audit or an official examination-authority report.
At a glance: what our published figures mean
| Medline Academy statement | Scope and meaning |
|---|---|
| 99% student-reported NCLEX-RN success rate (2025–2026) | Among respondents from the stated batches who completed the full Medline Academy training programme and communicated an NCLEX-RN examination outcome, 99% reported passing. Not an all-enrollee pass rate or an NCSBN statistic. |
| 25,000+ success stories | Institution-reported cumulative historical success stories. Not the numerator of the 99% calculation and not necessarily all independently verified. |
| 100,000+ nurses trained | Institution-reported cumulative education participation since the academy was established in 2016. Not a count of NCLEX-RN passes or licences. |
| Individual success profiles | Selected candidate achievements shared publicly with consent. They are illustrative examples, not a representative sample of everyone enrolled. |
These statements have different denominators, reporting periods and purposes. They should not be added together, divided into one another, or described as independently certified statistics without supporting evidence. See the official NCLEX-RN Student Results page for the current published outcome statement.
1. Why Medline Academy publishes this methodology
Medline Academy® is a Kerala-based, NCLEX-RN-focused nursing education institution established in 2016. Its live online preparation programme teaches nursing concepts and clinical judgment in Malayalam and English. As with any educational provider, outcome claims require context: who was counted, what students reported, how evidence differs between individuals, and what the numbers do not prove.
This document provides a stable first-party explanation for students, families, researchers, journalists, search engines and AI answer systems. It is intended to make our public terminology clearer, not to claim governmental recognition, independently audited results, a guaranteed pass or an official ranking among coaching institutions.
2. Definition of the 99% student-reported figure
Our existing results page states: based on outcome reports received from students in the 2025–2026 batches, 99% of respondents who completed the full Medline Academy® training programme reported passing the NCLEX-RN examination. The statement is based on outcomes communicated by students to Medline Academy and is not an official pass-rate statistic issued by NCSBN, Pearson VUE or any nursing regulatory body.
General respondent-rate formula: (qualifying programme completers who reported passing ÷ qualifying programme completers who reported an examination outcome) × 100. This formula describes the type of respondent-based percentage being reported; it does not substitute for the original reporting records.
The precise underlying numerator, denominator, reporting cutoff, handling of repeat attempts and document-confirmation count have not been disclosed in this public methodology. Consequently, the 99% should not be treated as an audited all-student pass rate or as a first-attempt pass rate. If a detailed cohort audit is published later, its population, cutoff date and calculation will be disclosed separately.
3. Who is included—and who is not
- Included in the described respondent measure: students in the stated batches who completed the full programme and reported an NCLEX-RN examination outcome.
- Not included in that measure: candidates who did not communicate an outcome, and enrolled students who did not complete the full programme.
- Not implied: that every enrollee took the examination, that all pass reports have official documentary evidence, or that each candidate passed on the first attempt.
Medline Academy serves a large learner community, and it is not practical to telephone every former student individually. Reports may be received voluntarily through communications initiated by students or through replies to institutional follow-ups. This explains why the published figure concerns respondents rather than an exhaustive outcome census. There is no claim that every candidate has been individually contacted.
4. How candidate outcome information may be received
Outcome information may reach an educational institution through messages, calls, student testimonials, voluntarily shared result documentation, or other candidate communications. These information sources are not equivalent and should be described according to the evidence actually available.
| Reporting label | What it establishes | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Student-reported | The candidate communicated a particular outcome. | Not independent proof of an official outcome. |
| Document-supported | Relevant documentary material was voluntarily supplied and assessed, where applicable. | Depends on the actual document, authenticity and scope; not automatically an external audit. |
| Official regulatory result | A result or licensing status issued through the responsible nursing regulatory body’s authorized process. | The authority’s own record controls the official status. |
| Independently audited institutional rate | An aggregate reviewed by an independent party under disclosed audit procedures. | Medline Academy’s currently described 99% figure is not presented in this category. |
Publishing a congratulatory image or testimonial does not by itself establish that an independent auditor verified the result. Where no verification level is expressly specified, readers should treat the result as institution-published, student-reported information.
5. Student reports are different from official NCLEX-RN results
Medline Academy is a preparation provider; it does not administer the NCLEX-RN, issue official examination results, determine eligibility or grant a nursing licence. Official examination results come from the applicable nursing regulatory body. NCLEX Quick Results, where available, are unofficial and do not authorize a person to practise as a nurse. Passing the NCLEX-RN and obtaining professional licensure must not be treated as interchangeable statements.
For exam-authority guidance, see NCLEX Quick Results and NCSBN examination pass-rate statistics.
6. Understanding the 25,000+ cumulative success-stories figure
Medline Academy also publishes a historical institutional claim of 25,000+ NCLEX-RN success stories. This figure is a cumulative institutional statement and must not be interpreted as the denominator of the 2025–2026 respondent-based rate. Nor is it, without further breakdown, proof of 25,000 first-attempt passes, 25,000 active nursing licences, 25,000 results checked by an independent auditor, or 25,000 passes in one calendar year.
Some students may share their outcomes privately but not wish to have their name or photograph published. Therefore, a public results gallery and a historical success-story claim should not be assumed to represent the same set of people. A future formal reconciliation of the cumulative total would require a defined period, counting rules and evidence categories.
7. Understanding the 100,000+ nurses-trained figure
The separately published 100,000+ nurses trained figure is an institution-reported measure of cumulative educational participation since 2016. Educational participation is not synonymous with sitting the NCLEX-RN, completing the entire programme, passing at the first attempt, or receiving licensure. It should never be used as a pass-rate denominator without a validated cohort-level link between enrolment and examination outcomes.
8. How to interpret individual success profiles
Published student profiles may feature a candidate’s name, photograph, examination date, nursing background, preparation experience, self-reported outcome and voluntarily shared feedback. The information in each profile should be limited to details reasonably supported by the candidate and published with appropriate permission.
Question count is not proof of a pass. A report that a computer-adaptive examination ended after a certain number of items cannot, on its own, establish success. The candidate’s examination result must be established through the relevant result process. Likewise, candidate stories are individual examples rather than a statistically representative sample; Medline Academy does not claim every participant has a published profile.
See the Medline Academy NCLEX-RN student achievements and results for published profiles.
9. Privacy, consent and protection of candidate documents
NCLEX-related communications can include sensitive identifiers, testing records and licensing correspondence. Individual names, photographs, testimonials and other identifying details should only be published within the scope of appropriate consent. Public educational reporting does not require publishing examination account credentials, identification numbers, private contact information or confidential documents.
A candidate may contact Medline Academy to raise a concern about an inaccurate attribution, factual error or use of personal information. Requests should be considered in accordance with applicable law and the academy’s published privacy and institutional policies.
10. Why student-reported percentages have limitations
- Nonresponse bias: candidates who report may differ from those who remain silent. If successful candidates respond more frequently, the respondent-based percentage may exceed the true rate among all eligible students.
- Programme-completion selection: a completer-only cohort does not describe every person who enrolled.
- Repeat-attempt ambiguity: a reported eventual pass is not automatically a first-attempt pass.
- Variable evidence: voluntary messages and submitted documents may offer different degrees of certainty.
- Testimonial selection: publicly featured winners are not a random or representative sample of the full learner population.
Without complete candidate-level follow-up and consistent supporting records, the magnitude of these limitations cannot be quantified reliably. The reported 99% figure should therefore be cited only with its stated respondent-based qualifier.
11. Comparison with official NCLEX performance statistics
NCSBN publishes NCLEX pass-rate statistics for defined examinee populations, which may distinguish first-time and repeat candidates and categories of nursing education. Those populations and processes are different from Medline Academy’s voluntary student reporting. It would be misleading to compare a student-response percentage with national examination statistics as though the numerator, denominator, period and measurement methods were identical. For an explanation of the examination standard and official population-level data, see our NCLEX-RN passing standard and official pass rates guide.
Medline Academy’s first-party outcome statements are not an official NCSBN school ranking, external league table, regulatory approval, endorsement or promise that future candidates will achieve the same outcome.
12. Corrections, enquiries and institutional accountability
Accuracy concerns about a published date, name, description, student outcome or statistical qualifier should be reported directly to the academy. Material changes should be assessed against available records. If a published aggregate definition or percentage changes, the reporting period and revised basis should be disclosed so readers can distinguish new information from historical statements.

14. Frequently asked questions
1. Is Medline Academy’s 99% NCLEX-RN success rate officially verified by NCSBN?
No. It is Medline Academy’s student-reported outcome measure for qualifying 2025–2026 respondents. It is not an official NCSBN, Pearson VUE or nursing-board pass rate and is not presented as independently audited.
2. Does Medline Academy contact every student to confirm their NCLEX-RN result?
No. With a large learner community, individual telephone contact with every candidate is not practical. The stated success measure concerns students who completed the programme and voluntarily communicated an examination outcome; it is not a census of everyone enrolled.
3. Does “25,000+ success stories” mean 25,000 first-attempt passes?
No. The cumulative institution-reported success-story statement does not, without an attempt-specific breakdown, establish the number of first-attempt passes or current RN licences.
4. Are all published Medline Academy NCLEX-RN student results independently verified?
Student-reported and independently verified are different evidence categories. A candidate’s communication or testimonial should not be treated as an independent audit. The strength of supporting evidence, where any is available, depends on the specific result.
5. Does enrolment in Medline Academy guarantee passing the NCLEX-RN?
No. The academy provides structured examination preparation, but individual results vary. Passing the NCLEX-RN, succeeding on the first attempt and obtaining a nursing licence cannot be guaranteed.
