Hi Venkatesh,

Please follow below step: 
1. In the vf page when input fields are populated and button is pressed. 
2. Call redirect() method in Controller. 
3. The controller will build the URL to be re-directed. 
4. Open the record creation page, inpect element on field. You will find unique name copy this name. 
5. Add the field API name in parameter along with Object API name. 

See example below for auto-populating Account Name:
I have one custom field for address name: acc17street

/001/e?acc17street=test&retURL=%2F001%2Fo

Hope this helps. 

Thanks,
Gaurav
