Respected Sir, I want to pursue Genetics Engineering so I need to know what is the career scope for Genetics Engineering? What is the salary offered as compared to its fee? Will I get a good job in a Reputed Company? Please answer as soon as possible.

Genetics engineering is a new field of engineering. Although genetics has been studied for quite a few decades now, it's consideration as an engineering field is just in it's primary stage and only a few engineering colleges offer this course.
As far as India is concerned, there are very few colleges in India that offer this course as a specification. Many colleges will offer a course called microbiology or biotechnology and say that the overview of genetics lies in this course.
My advise will be to not fall for these courses as you will be spending 4 years doing something that is completely different.
Now, seeing that there are not many college and not a lot of recognition for genetics engineering in India, the obvious option is to move out which hampers the cost effectively.
Genetics is not a broad stream an hence if you want to recover the cost that you will be paying for this degree, you will have to study more and go on to take a masters course in it and afterwards a PhD in it as well.
You will have to be a specialist or else you will be rendered jobless.
Thus, your fees will depend on which college you take an admission in. Expecting that you will be studying genetics in USA, your fees estimation will be between 30-40 lakh rupees.
But after you go on to do PhD and then take a job or start as a consultant you can recover this and the other expenditures you made alongside taking your degree in about 5-7 years after doing your PhD.
