<select class="form-control" name="eve_type" id="eve_type" value="<?php echo set_select('eve_type',$); ?>">
                        <option value=''>--Select Event Type--</option>
                        
                        <option value="<?php echo set_select('eve_type', 'Exhibition'); ?>">Exhibition</option>
                       
                        <option value="<?php echo set_select('eve_type','College/ School Fest');?>" > College/ School Fest </option>

                        <option value="<?php echo set_select('eve_type', 'Conference');?>" > Conference </option>

                        <option value="<?php echo set_select('eve_type', 'Concert/ Entertainment');?>" > Concert/ Entertainment  </option>

                        <option value="<?php echo set_select('eve_type', 'Corporate Internal Event');?>" > Corporate Internal Event </option>
                        
                    </select>

You need to use set_select, not a set_value for your dropdown. Please take a look at official doc: https://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/helpers/form_helper.html?highlight=set_select#set_select

Example:

<select name="myselect">
        <option value="one" <?php echo  set_select('myselect', 'one', TRUE); ?> >One</option>
        <option value="two" <?php echo  set_select('myselect', 'two'); ?> >Two</option>
        <option value="three" <?php echo  set_select('myselect', 'three'); ?> >Three</option>
</select>
