Try like this:

var values = $("select[id*='drpCategory']").map(function(){
    return this.value;
}).get();

and you will have the selected values of all dropdowns.

you can loop through the select elements, please note that using attribute selector alone is too slow, try this:

$("select[id*='drpCategory']").each(function(){
   alert(this.value)
})

jquerys .val() will return the selected value of your drop down, or an array of selected values if the drop down allows multiple.

var selectedItems = $('[id*="drpCategory"]').val();
