It depends on the institution. Mostly, IIMs and some top institutions accept CAT but a large number of institutions have their own entrance exam too.

Top management institutes shortlist students through CAT. Many institutes today have their own entrance exam like MICA, Symbiosis etc. Many others take MAT & XAT scores as well. You should check the entry criteria as every institute has their own pattern :)
