et cetera and et al, both are used to say "and others" or "and the rest of them". But the difference lies in the context one uses them.

et cetera: Used when things are the point of discussion

e.g.: The child's room was filled with cookies, chocolates etc.

et al: Used when people or individuals are the point of dicussion

e.g.: The pop concert was of MJ et al.
