• Asp.Net Web Form has Master Pages for consistent look and feels.        
• Asp.Net Web Form has User Controls for code re-usability.

Asp.Net MVC model:

• Asp.Net MVC is a lightweight and follow MVC (Model, View, and Controller) pattern based development model.
• Asp.Net MVC does not support view state.
• Asp.Net MVC has route-based URLs means URLs are divided into controllers and actions and moreover it is based on controller not on physical file.
• In Asp.Net MVC, Views and logic are kept separately.
