Yes, both "on time" and "in time" are correct depending on the situation. "On time" means arriving or being ready at the right moment without any delay meanwhile "in time" implies being early or before the deadline. For instance, "I submitted my project 'on time' means I did not exceed the deadline. In contrast, if I say "I submitted my project 'in time', it suggests that I completed before the deadline, providing a gap. Understanding these subtle nuances helps improve our communication skill.
