Hi Sagar Kumar,
PSAT is mainly for high school students in class 11th in US and qualifies them for the National Merit Scholarship. SAT is required to gain admissions in a college and shows college readiness. If you have a good SAT score, you can be considered for scholarships along with admissions.
But, taking PSAT is not for admissions purpose. In terms of format and content there is not much difference, but PSAT is the preliminary SAT and the real SAT is tougher.
