What I have tried:

This is View



@{var listItems = new List<SelectListItem>
{
new SelectListItem {Text="Select Your Gender", Value="1"},
new SelectListItem {Text="Male", Value="2"},
new SelectListItem {Text="Female", Value="3"}

};
}




This is My HomeController

public ActionResult Create(Student s)
        {
            Sample dbContext = new Sample();
            var v = dbContext.Students.Add(s);
            dbContext.SaveChanges();
            return RedirectToAction("GetAllStudent");
        }
