Most of the reputed colleges in India accept CAT score only for admission into MBA program. Because CAT is considered as the best exam. However some colleges accept MAT and GMAT too.

It is not compulsory but it will definitely give you admission in top B schools of india if you crack it. And I'll suggest you that you must give CAT.
