Another way in MVC5:

1) in the layout html View file, place RenderSection in the place you need the script to be:

@RenderSection("scripts1", required: false)

note that you can change the "Scripts1" to be whatever name you like.

2) in your view html file, just call the "scripts1", doesn't matter where, with your path and js file name:

@Scripts1.Render("~/Scripts/MyScript.js")

3) make sure the MyScript js file is in the Scripts Folder of your project.

That's it.
