Hi

As a general rule of thumb you should aim to complete all stages of a case within 25min, maybe up to 30min if the case is particularly difficult or the interviewer probes with more questions. Remember you want to prove you can solve a problem but also do it quickly. MBB is generally a high pressure environment so operating at speed is key. 

Good luck!
