Validate single Model in Multiple Model ASP.NET MVC

How can i validate single model in multiple model

Here are my two Model ModelA

public class ModelA
{
    [Display(Name = "Test1")]
    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Test1 is required.")]
    public string Test1 { get; set; }
}

My Second Model ModelB

public class ModelB
{
    [Display(Name = "Test2")]
    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Test2 is required.")]
    public string Test2 { get; set; }
}

My Main Model

public class MainModel
{
    public ModelA ModelA { get; set; }
    public ModelB ModelB { get; set; }
}

Here is my Index.cshtml

@using (Html.BeginForm("Test1", "SubmitModel", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "TestForm", role = "form", enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
    @Html.TextBoxFor(Model => Model.ModelA.Test1, new { @class = "form-control" })
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(Model => Model.ModelA.Test1, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

    @Html.TextBoxFor(Model => Model.ModelB.Test2, new { @class = "form-control" })
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(Model => Model.ModelB.Test2, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
    <input type="submit" value="next" />
}

My Controller where my problem exists I have to validate a single model

public PartialViewResult Test1(MainModel model)
{
    if (TryValidateModel(model.ModelA)) // This will validate both model at a time not a single model 
    {
        return PartialView("Index", model);
    }
    return PartialView("Index");
}

How can i validate only one model For eg if Textbox Text one is empty i have to validate only one model at a time means ModelA at this stage

The DefaultModelBinder will validate all for you when it make the bind. ModelState.IsValid set if all conditions are OK at MainModel objects. 

public PartialViewResult Test1(MainModel model)
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)  
    {
        return PartialView("Index", model);
    }
    return PartialView("Index");
}

You can try something like below:

public PartialViewResult Test1(MainModel model)
{
    if(string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Model.ModelB.Test1)
    {
        ModelState.Remove("Model.ModelB.Test2");
        if (TryValidateModel(model.ModelA)) 
        {
            return PartialView("Index", model);
        }
    }
    return PartialView("Index");
}

But it is totally unclear why you would need something like this.
