To solve my problem I created helper functions to load assets. And here is my code deployed in my application. PS: First I planned a good/flexible directory structure

[some_helper.php]

/*
 * Created: 2017/12/14 00:28:30
 * Updated: 2017/12/14 00:28:39
 * @params
 * $url_structure = 'assets/js/%s.js'
 * $files = ['main.min', 'social']
 * $echo = FALSE
 *
 */

function load_js($files = [], $url_structure = NULL, $version = '1.0', $echo = FALSE){
    $html = "";
    foreach ($files as $file) {
        if($url_structure){
            $file = sprintf($url_structure, $file);
        }
        $file_url = base_url($file);
        $html .= "<script src=\"{$file_url}?v={$version}\"></script>";
    }
    if($echo) {
        echo $html;
    }
    return $html;
}

/*
 * Created: 2017/12/14 00:28:48
 * Updated: 2017/12/14 00:28:51
 * @params
 * $version = '1.0' // Later load from configuration
 * $url_structure = 'assets/js/%s.css'
 * $files = ['main.min', 'social']
 * $echo = FALSE
 *
 */

function load_css($files = [], $url_structure = NULL, $version = '1.0', $echo = FALSE){
    $html = "";
    foreach ($files as $file) {
        if($url_structure){
            $file = sprintf($url_structure, $file);
        }
        $file_url = base_url($file);
        echo "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"{$file_url}?v={$version}\">";
    }
    if($echo) {
        echo $html;
    }
    return $html;
}

Then called in the view

[some_view.php]

$css = [
    'path' => 'assets/css/%s.css',
    'files' => ['bootstrap.min','style']
];
load_css($css['files'], $css['path'], '1.0', TRUE);

Hope it helps someone. In the case of OP $css['path'] = 'application/assets/css/%s.css'; will do the trick.

Updated the code on Github which I will keep updating.

function addcategory()
{
    //alert("<?php echo base_url();?>")
     $.ajax({
                complete: function() {}, //Hide spinner
                url : '<?php echo base_url();?>category/search',
                data:$('#add_category').serialize(),
                type : "POST",
                dataType : 'json',
                success : function(data) {
                    if(data.code == "200")
                    {
                        alert("category added successfully");
                    }

                        },
                beforeSend: function(XMLHttpRequest){}, //$.blockUI();
                        cache: false,
                        error : function(data) {
                            }
            });

}

assets/css/bootstrap.min.css"

    <!-- Include JS -->
    <script src="<?php echo base_url();?>assets/js/jquery.js"></script>
    <script src="<?php echo base_url();?>assets/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

Jogesh_p's answer will surely solve the assets loading problem you have. I would like to follow up on this question you gave

Thank you or your support. btw the way if i wanna use some library like phpMailler or zend framwork .

You can put in application/libraries/

Then load it in the controller using the Library's Class' Name

$this->load->library('phpmailer');

Its your choice to load in on the constructor or on the individual method.

Good Luck!

This is the best way with minimal code

<script src="<?php echo base_url('assets/javascript/jquery.js');?>"></script>
<script src="<?php echo base_url('assets/css/bootstrap.min.js');?>"></script>

put your assets folder with applications, system, assets

not in application and simple load the url helper class in controller where you call the header view part something like 

$this->load->helper('url');
$this->load->view('header');

and simply use something like this in your header file..
because $this->base_url() return the / folder..

<script src="<?php echo $this->base_url();?>assets/javascript/jquery.js"></script>

Changing the folder structure because access within the application folder is just for the core part that i know..

here is the link if you want to know more about URL Helper
