A dropdownlist in MVC is a collection of selectlistitem objects.

Go to Home Controller and add another action method named as Departments
and add view to Departments

Go to Departments.cshtml and write the following code.

@Html.DropDownList("Departments", new List<SelectListItem>
{
new SelectListItem{Text="IT",Value=""},
new SelectListItem{Text="HR",Value=""},
new SelectListItem{Text="Finance",Value=""},
new SelectListItem{Text="Accounts",Value=""}
},"Select Department") 

Now run the application and you will see the static dropdown list
