You can use FormCollection or ViewModel to get data from DropDownListFor(). @Html.DropDownListFor(m=>m.SelectedVender  Model.Vendor Select Manufacurer ) public class MobileViewModel { public List MobileList; public SelectList Vendor { get ; set ; } public string SelectedVender { get ; set ;} } [HttpPost] public ActionResult ShowData(MobileModel MV) { string SelectedValue = MV.SelectedVendor; return View(MV); } OR [HttpPost] public ActionResult ShowData(FormCollection form) { string strDDLValue = form[ ddlVendor ].ToString(); return View( Index ); } http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27901175/how-to-get-dropdownlist-selectedvalue-in-controller-in-mvc
