how i can validate these Drop-Downs at client side in jquery?

Are you using unobtrusive client-side validation? In which case, what is the need for the custom validation code? — Tim Rogers, Apr 02 '13 at 13:36
@Tim no i am not using unobtrusive client-side validation i want to only validate drop downs from particular DIV — Shivkumar, Apr 02 '13 at 13:50
Check Validation **[here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/15758449/2007801)** — , Apr 02 '13 at 14:31
@Shivkumar Without unobtrusive validation `$("form").validate()` will return object where `setting.rules` is empty array. You should manually set them, look at this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8829030/jquery-validation-plugin-adding-rules-that-apply-to-multiple-fields — webdeveloper, Apr 02 '13 at 14:43

Add this files to your page (this will allow client validation):

<script src="@Url.Content("~/scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

Calling:

$('form').valid()

Will return true if there is no errors, and false if they are and display errors near inputs.

You can validate dropdown manually like this:

$('#addbtn').click(function(){
var ddlvalue= $("#dropdownid option:selected").val();
if(ddlvalue!='-1')
{    
   //Do your work.
}
else
  alert('Please select product");
});

  <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('#<%=btnSubmit.ClientID%>').click(function () {
                if ($('#<%=ddlCity.ClientID%>').val() == 0) {
                    alert('Please select Country')
                    return false;
                   }                              
                if ($('#<%=txtName.ClientID%>').val() == "") {
                    alert(' Name')
                    return false;
                }

            });
        });  

    </script>
