I hope this will work for you as you are trying to keep selected value in a ViewBag.

public class UserVM
{
   public string Year { set; get; }
   public string Month { set; get; }
   public string Day{ set; get; }
}

Set value in a viewbag and bind

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Register(User user)
{
     // It should be better to read this data from database
     ViewBag.Year = new SelectList(
                                    new List<SelectListItem>
                                    {
                                        new SelectListItem { Text = "1368", Value = "1987" },
                                        new SelectListItem { Text = "1369", Value = "1988"}, //....
                                    }, "Value" , "Text");
    // Also other properties like Month and Day
     return View();
}

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    <div class="form-group">
        @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Year, (SelectList)ViewBag.Year, "Select one")
    </div>

    <button type="Submit" class="btn btn-success submit">Send</button>
}

Get the selected value and set it into another view bag.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Register(VM model) 
{
    if(!ModelState.IsValid) 
    {
       ViewBag.SelectedYear = model.Year;
    }
    return View();
}
