Hello,
Biotechnology is a term under which genetic engineering falls. Biotechnology is a research oriented technology which combines biology and technology.
On the other hand, Genetic engineering, also known as Genetic Modification, is the manipulation of the genetic material (DNA) of a living organism via artificial methods.
In India, the scope for Biotechnology is more than Genetics, as highly developed and advanced technology are used for genetics, which is available only in a few parts of India.
Hope this helps!
