How can I find out how long did the entire replication took to complete for a newly installed Domain controller?
Is there any event Id generated when the freshly promoted DC is completely replicated ?

Repadmin /replsummary may give you an idea

When it begins to collect data for the replication summary, this command displays a series of dots. Each dot represents a domain controller that is specified in the DSA_LIST parameter (plus some extra dots for preprocessing). Fifty dots are displayed on each line of the output. For example, four lines of dots represent about 200 domain controllers that are specified by the DSA_LIST parameter. The dots help you gauge throughput and completion time in large environments.

Well from the replsummary or from the event log can I find out if the replication for the freshly installed DC is completed?
And if so at what time did it complete?
you could do
repadmin /showrepl
or another graphical option is to use the replication status tool

Yeah but does it tell me what time the replication started and completed?
Is there any event id maybe I’m looking for which tells me the replication is completed ?
repadmin /showrepl shows the completion time. The replication status tool shows both the Last Attempt Sync and the Last Succeeded Sync time stamps. You can also add the DFS Management tools from Server Manager and generate reports, and possibly generate reports via PowerShell. You can also find a very detailed (but cryptic) log file in \windows\debug folder.
