Sanjay Thakur: @BeforeTest is getting called only once when @test is invoked in a class however @BeforeMethod will be executed after every @test invoked.

If you see TestNG documentation: http://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html#annotations

@BeforeTest - The annotated method will be run before any test method belonging to the classes inside the <test> tag is run.
 
@BeforeMethod - The annotated method will be run after all the test methods in the current class have been run.
 
So, BeforeTest will be initiated before execution of selected package or classes or methods inside <test> tag starts.
 
On other hand, @BeforeMethod will be executed just before any function/method with @Test annotation starts.
 
Hope that helps! Let me know your views in comment.

@BeforeMethod: The annotated method will be run before each test method.
@BeforeClass: The annotated method will be run before the first test method in the current class is invoked.
@BeforeTest: The annotated method will be run before any test method belonging to the classes inside the <test> tag is run.
