Server controls render themselves as HTML, but not necessarily the HTML you want. MVC solves this by outputting clean HTML using what is known as 'HTML helpers'. An added benefit of the framework is, you can customise these helpers to add your own custom controls to render whatever HTML you require.

Look at the articles below to read more about HTML Helper:

Look at this

As per my knowledge

The main advantages of the MVC models are clear separation of concerns, unit testing facility, and more control over the URLs and HTML. The MVC model does not use Viewstate, Postbacks, Server controls, and server-based forms that enable full control over the application and html rendered by the Views

hi,
when we are using asp.net normally we are using server side controls (ex textbox,dropdown,grid etc.), that will generate HTML code by it self only more ever view state also generate some HTML code.
while in MVC when programmer is developing view, normally programmer are using basic HTML tags or HTML helpers (which is nothing like user controls in asp.net)
so no sever side controls and programmer has complete control over HTML rendered.

This means that unlike ASP.NET Webforms, MVC does not generate garbage control ids. This makes CSS styling and Javascript development easy. Further, it helps in performance of a site. ASP.NET MVC forces to be more in sync and close to HTML.
There are no repeaters, datagrids or such controls that magically generate markup for you.
There are no hidden fields to persist state for you.

More or less, it's just the HTML that you need to work with.
