Returning Form values to post action in MVC

I have a view which has no Model. On design time it has 2 drop down lists with values. Below is my view code:

    if (string.Equals("Home", @ViewContext.RouteData.Values["Controller"].ToString()))
    {
        using (Html.BeginForm("Submit","Home",FormMethod.Post,new {@class="firstform"}))
    {


            <div class="field vert">
                <select>                        
                    <option>Home</option>
                    <option>Health</option>
                </select>
            </div>
            <div class="field vert">
                <select>                       
                    <option>Education</option>
                    <option>Designation</option>
                </select>
            </div>



              <input type="submit" class="btn" value="Get Now"/>

}

    }

My action is as below:

[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Submit(FormCollection f)
        {
            return View();
        }

In action I couldn't find form values, Can you please guide me what I should do or what I m missing to get values in Submit action.

I m putting break point and checking form collection has nothing. Please help

The Default binding in MVC is with name attribute so just give your select tag name attribute as shown :

 <div class="field vert">
     <select name="a">                        
         <option>Home</option>
         <option>Health</option>
     </select>
 </div>
 <div class="field vert">
      <select name="b">                       
         <option>Education</option>
         <option>Designation</option>
      </select>
  </div>

and get selected dropdown value with the help of name attribute at post controller.
