If that is your req then try the below code (assuming object name: student__c) 
trigger TestTrigger on Student__c (before insert,before update) {
    if(trigger.new.size()>0){
        for(Student__c stu : trigger.new){
            if(stu.City__c=='Bangalore'){
                stu.state__c='AP';
            }
        }
    }
}

Let me know if you have any issues.

Close the thread if it works.

Hi srikanth,

Please elaborate your requirements like what is the criteria on the workflow and what is the criteria on the trigger for the field updation and when do you want those things to execute

So you need to write a trigger equivalent to your workflow which replaces that workflow right?
