Hi Kapil, Hope the below gives you solution.

if (user.role=="Admin")
{
this.Page.MasterPageFile = "~/AdminMasterPage.master";
}
else if(user.role=="Manager")
{
this.Page.MasterPageFile = "~/ManagerMaster.master";
}

If it reaches, accept it Or come with your query.
Thank you.

You can write manually page_preinit even also. otherwise Go to design mode select page and go to event section in property window. select that event and double click it will generate that event in code behind.

Yes, We can get the model values in preinit event.. No issue will raise.

You need to use Pre_Init event of the asp.net page life cycle to set the master page dynamically as shown below
void Page_PreInit(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.MasterPageFile = "~/MyMaster.master";
}
OR
void Page_PreInit(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.MasterPageFile = "~/NewMaster.master";
}
