They allow but your reason better be solid enough to justify. Known a couple of batchmates who were able to convince.

The demand is so high that there is no incentive for them. So ... check with adcom

Around 2 to 5 minutes.

Unless the topic becomes too interesting and the panel wants to continue discussing more
Or
It's not moving forward and the panel thinks "let's move on"

There is no set guidelines.

The above is after discussion starts.

Hey Udit!
There’s no hard stop duration per se. The panelists might/might not interject and can even start a conversation with you sometimes.

How much time did your extempore last?


Any specific things ?
10 mins around. It depends on the panel, for R1 some interviews only had the extempore discussion and no other questions, some where the extempore was short but other questions came in. For my case it was like extempore then profile related then General Awareness Questions. So, difficult to predict
