To preserve the same rendering like in IE10 and if not possible like in IE9, you should use the next setting in your master page (or pages) in the "head" section like in the next example:

HTML

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10; IE=9;"/>

Its not working.
Is there any link fro msdn which mentions change in dropdown UI for IE11 ?

After this change (indicated by me) you must clear the browser cache, close the browser, then test again your page, and should work like in IE10!

Followed it.. But Not working !!!

Are you shore that in IE10 is working? Maybe you tested in IE9.
Anyway you could try to modify the setting above to be only IE9 compatible:
content="IE=9;", then delete the browser cache and test again.

i tried as u mentioned above.. but the the dropdown menu is not working like ie 10.. it still shows the new drop down UI in IE-11

It is strange, because I also applied successfully my solution some sites developed my me. So are you shore that you put the settings in the master page in the right place and that the browser cache was cleared!?
