till the deadline vs by the deadline

Both are correct phrases, but they're used in different contexts. 'Till the deadline' implies performing an action continuously until the deadline is reached, while 'by the deadline' indicates completing the action before the deadline. The choice between the two phrases depends on if the focus is on continuous action leading up to the deadline or completion before the deadline.
