CPT as it suggests Curricular Practical Training is a training that applicants can take up while they are enrolled in a full-time course with an F1 visa. It can be either a part-time on or off campus job, research opportunities, etc. On the other hand, OPT is Optional Practical Training can be either taken up during or after graduation. Those studying STEM courses, can also go ahead with STEM OPT Extension. 

Many times, students may need to extend their F-1 visa status or OPT if the company wishes to hold back the student for a longer time. This is when these students will require transit from an F1 visa to an H1B visa. A cap-gap extension permits them to stay in the US at the time of the gap between the end of F-1 OPT or OPT STEM work authorization and the beginning of H-1B status.

With an OPT, international students can get only 12 months of employment. Those who wish to work for a longer duration will need an H1-B visa.

CPT full form is Curricular Practical Training. Whereas, OPT stands for Optional Practical Training. You can apply for both of these simultaneously. However, it should be noted that the CPT can be authorized only until the last day of the final quarter.
