Can any one tell me how I do that??? I tried many code one example is given below

This should work for you, if you want to set higher execution time limit for just one method:

public function postGetEvents1(){

    // Get default limit
    $normalTimeLimit = ini_get('max_execution_time');

    // Set new limit
    ini_set('max_execution_time', 600); 

    //other code

    // Restore default limit
    ini_set('max_execution_time', $normalTimeLimit); 

    return;
}
