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!
