I am currently going through a tutorial for deploying an application on google app engine. The tutorial however uses python. I want to know if it can be done for C#. If not, is there an alternative to the app engine for .net developers?

No, Google App Engine "standard" environment doesn't support .NET.
The "flexible" environment (currently in beta) supports custom runtimes, with the proviso that it'll be running on a Docker container. So if you are able to get your web app working in a Docker container either using Mono or .NET Core, you can deploy it to App Engine Flexible Environment that way.
In terms of alternatives to App Engine - there are other cloud providers of course, and Azure is the obvious choice for running a .NET application given that it's Microsoft. It won't be the same as App Engine though - you should work out what aspects of App Engine are important to you, and make sure that wherever you end up supports those aspects.
