Solution 1

This can be achieved by a ViewModel.
At first you add your static value to this
an then add the model data from the database.

In your view you must use your ViewModel as model.

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.nDepartmentID, (SelectList)ViewBag.DepartmentList, "Select Any Department", new {@class="select1",@style="width: 150px;" })

public ActionResult ShowPage()
{
var deptmnts=db.Departments.ToList();
ViewBag.DepartmentList=new SelectList(deptmnts,"ID","DepartmentName");
retun View();
}
