The model item passed into the ViewDataDictionary is of type 'College.WebInterface.Models.ViewModels.HomeIndexViewModel', but this ViewDataDictionary instance requires a model item of type 'College.WebInterface.Models.Department'.

Question

I am getting the error even after using correct objects and models and namespaces

///Controller code
public IActionResult Index()
{
HomeIndexViewModel HomePageModel = new HomeIndexViewModel();
//List<Notification> nf = new List<Notification>();
var f = (from n in _context.Notifications.OrderByDescending(n => n.Date) select n).Take(5);
HomePageModel.Notifications.AddRange(f);
return View(HomePageModel);
}

///Razor-View Code
@默 College.WebInterface.Models.ViewModels.HomeIndexViewModel
<h1> welcome to index page</h1>
