            {
                SelectListItem selectedItem = ClassList.Find(p => p.Value == ddlclass);
                ViewBag.Message = "Name: " + selectedItem.Text;
                ViewBag.Message += "\\nID: " + selectedItem.Value;
            }
            return View(ClassList);
        }

        private static List<SelectListItem> GetClasss()
        {
            SchoolDataEntities entities = new SchoolDataEntities();
            List<SelectListItem> classList = (from p in entities.tbl_Class.AsEnumerable()
                                              select new SelectListItem
                                              {
                                                  Text = p.Class_Name,
                                                  Value = p.Class_ID.ToString()
                                              }).ToList();


            //Add Default Item at First Position.
            classList.Insert(0, new SelectListItem { Text = "--Select Class--", Value = "" });
            return classList;
        }

Hi akhter,

Check this example. Now please take its reference and correct your code.

Database

For this example I have used of Northwind database that you can download using the link given below.

Download Northwind Database

Model

public class tbl_Student
{
    public string std_id { get; set; }
    public string std_Name { get; set; }
    public List<SelectListItem> ClassList { get; set; }
}

Controller

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    // GET: Home
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        tbl_Student student = new tbl_Student();
        student.ClassList = GetClasss();
        ViewBag.saveresult = "";
        return View(student);
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Index(tbl_Student student)
    {
        using (NorthwindEntities entities = new NorthwindEntities())
        {
            Customer s = new Customer();
            s.CustomerID = student.std_id;
            s.ContactName = student.std_Name;
            entities.Customers.Add(s);
            entities.SaveChanges();
            ViewBag.saveresult = "Data Save";
            ModelState.Clear();
        }

        return View(new tbl_Student() { ClassList = GetClasss() });
    }

    private static List<SelectListItem> GetClasss()
    {
        NorthwindEntities entities = new NorthwindEntities();
        List<SelectListItem> classList = (from p in entities.Customers
                                            select new SelectListItem
                                            {
                                                Text = p.ContactName,
                                                Value = p.CustomerID.ToString()
                                            }).ToList();

        //Add Default Item at First Position.
        classList.Insert(0, new SelectListItem { Text = "--Select Class--", Value = "" });
        return classList;
    }
}
