Rather than using "HiddenFor" use the DropDownListFor to make the dropdown as that function includes a parameter that says what model property the selected value goes into. Just google "mvc dropdownlistfor" and you'll find examples.

I already have the script , just assigning the selected value to model directly ......

Change the select's name from "one" to "degree", and if you can't do that for some reason change your model's property from "degree" to "one".

it returns only id 1 2 3 , any idea how to assign the names

You're just going to have to write code that says "if id is 1 then text is Bachelore Degree".

Getting back to my original suggestion though, if you use DropDownListFor to make the select box you can use a server-side collection of items to build that list and that collection will have the id and the text. When you get the id back you can use the same collection to look up the text from the id.
