If you are using Razor Views
Use optionlabel in View

C#

@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.FieldName, (SelectList)ViewBag.DepartMent, Model.FieldName)

or Create SelectList and mention your selectedValue in Action

C#

SelectList Banks = new SelectList(new Department().Seed(), "DepartmentName", "DepartmentId", "SelectedValue");
