EDIT:

Thanks for the information. But to be more clear about the question is If you download any app from iTunes means it will based on News, Entertainment, Games, Music Genres. Likewise my appication is a news based Genre. So i need to recognize it as a News based Genre in iTunes. As of now it displays Unknown Genre in iTunes. But my app is not yet launched in App Store.

Answer 1

You don't get to set the genre until you submit the application to the App Store. In the process for submitting an application to the App Store you get to set the Primary and Secondary categories, just like slf said. Before submission, you're app has no genre.
