I have got same problem and the solution is above:
I just changed the Name of the drop down and handled the assignment in the controller.
The reason behind this problem is that asp.net MVC first looks for a match between the name of the drop down and a property on the model. If there’s a match, the selected value of the SelectList is overridden. Changing the name of the drop down is all it takes to remedy the issue.
