For your nil class you have to add this in your def index method

def index
  @categories = Category.where("parent_id IS NULL")
  @category = Category.new
end

def get_subscategories
  @subscategories = Category.where(:parent_id => params[:parent_id])
  render :partial => "subscategories", :object => @subscategories
end

index.html

<%= select_tag "parent_category", options_from_collection_for_select(@categories, "id", "name"), :prompt => "Select a parent category", :onchange => "update_subscategories_div(this.value)" %>
<div id="versionsDiv">
</div>

_subscategories.html.erb

<%= f.select :parent_id, options_from_collection_for_select(@subscategories, "id", "name"), :prompt => "Select a parent category" %>

routes.rb

match "/get_subscategories" => "categories#get_subscategories"

application.js

function update_subscategories_div(parent_id) {  
  jQuery.ajax({
    url: "/get_subscategories",
    type: "GET",
    data: {"parent_id" : parent_id},
    dataType: "html"
    success: function(data) {
      jQuery("#versionsDiv").html(data);
    }
  });
}

As you the form in index.html.erb, the index method should contain @category = Category.new

def index
  @categories = Category.all
  @category = Category.new
end
