In GMAT you face competition from the global student community. However the difficulty level of CAT is higher than GMAT. In GMAT  the top colleges prefer candidates with excellent profile in past.

GMAT and CAT have the same syllabus, both deal with Mathematics and English. Both tests complement each other. Preparing for GMAT helps CAT aspirants in verbal, and CAT preparation helps GMAT aspirants in Quantitative Section. Most of the sections in both the tests are common.

@Sameera: GMAT is considered to be more easy than CAT through not all institutes accept GMAT score in India but if you are planning to study abroad. CAT is accepted my maximum institutes in India and is also considered to be tough exam. Good luck!
