Thank you all.
This interview lasted for 15 minutes . Only the head of the panel seemed to be enthusiastic and was asking questions rapidly. The lady was given chance by the head of the panel but she didn't ask a single question.
I Hope this would be helpful for those who are having interview in the near future.
