set in time vs set on time
SET IN TIME:This phrase usually means something happens before it’s too late, or at the correct or appropriate moment, though it’s not a very standard collocation with set. You might hear "just in time" far more commonly.
ex: we managed to set everything up in time for the opening ceremony

SET ON TIME: This would usually mean that something is scheduled to start at the correct, planned time, though it’s also not a typical collocation.
Ex: the meeting was set on time and everyone arrived punctually
