Where is the variable $categories defined? I think you mean: $categories = $this->registrant_model->getAllDepartment(); — Fabio Widmer, Jul 04 '16 at 12:51
I suppose you meant to type `$data['categories']` instead of `$categories` — Pieter van den Ham, Jul 04 '16 at 12:52

yes you have to pass $data to the view.so you can access $categories from view — Madhawa Priyashantha, Jul 04 '16 at 12:54

You need to pass $data array to view from controller

$data['categories'] = $this->registrant_model->getAllDepartment();
$this->load->view('SystemAdminUser/registrant', $data);// pass $data to view
