My final round interview with CEO only lasted 15 minutes?

I had a final round interview as a junior undergrad student for a PE position with the CEO of a small firm. I interviewed with a Senior Associate but when I came for the final in person interview it only last 15 minutes. Is this good or bad? 

 

I connected great with the executive assistant but I had to do a project after my interview with the Senior Associate which I didn’t do right, but apparently none of the other candidates did too, and the CEO kinda made a joke commenting on the quality of education at my school but I’m probably overthinking. It’s my first in person interview since the start of the pandemic and was expecting it to be longer than it was, thank you nonetheless!

 

I don't find anything odd about it having been only 15 minutes long.  As the above poster said, it's mostly just a personality / red flags check by the CEO.  They wouldn't get into the weeds with you and since this is an internship anyway, not much reason for them to probe into your deepest desires and long-term career path interests anyway.
