Rajini, CAT is basically for admission to IIMs and top B-Schools in India. GMAT on the other hand is meant for admission to international B-Schools. CAT takes place once a year whereas GMAT takes place 5 times a year. CAT score is valid for the year in which you appeared for the test but GMAT score is valid for 5 years from the year you appeared for. Seeing the global acceptance of GMAT many B-Schools in India too accept its scores.
Keeping above points in mind you can appear for the test of your choice. Also check the universities that accept both.
Good luck.
