Rejected after vacation scheme interview

[sam30_]

I interviewed for a vac scheme last week, and yesterday I received a rejection email with no feedback. I requested feedback and just heard back from the recruiter. I was told that I did not provide 'extensive responses' to questions. The interview was scheduled to be a 15min interview, and I was cautious of the time, so I did not go into unnecessary detail (we overran by 5mins).

I am upset because I done my best and feel as though the allotted 15mins did not give me enough time to really go into detail.

I don't know what to do with this feedback or how to improve in the future. I thought my responses were detailed enough, given the time.

Is it OK to go over the allotted interview time?

Yes, it is fine to go over an allotted time. It is for your interviewer to manage the time not you.
