Spring Boot - JSP is not rendering

I am writing a Spring MVC application using Spring boot. I am trying to display a text and a list of Department object which is populated from the Controller class. when the boot application is run the values are getting populated in the Controller's List variable and the page is redirected to the mentioned JSP.

The problem is the output is something like this. Screenshot of the output

I want the values to be populated in the designated EL. Any help is very much appreciated.

Following are the codes used.

Department.jsp

<!DOCTYPE html>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<html lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
        <div>
            <h1>${message}</h1>
                <ul>
                <c:forEach var="listValue" items="${DepartmentList}" >
                      <li>${listValue.deptName}</li>
                 </c:forEach>
                 </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
