How to fetch various record types as picklist values for a field

In Applications (custom object), I have to create a custom picklist whose values should be various record types created for Applications. And if any record type is deleted, it gets reflected in the picklist values.
Please help.

 Hi Nidhi,

You can query recordtype object and create custom picklist as shown below

Apex Class method 
public List<selectOption> getRecordTypes() {
        List<selectOption> options = new List<selectOption>(); 
//new list for holding all of the picklist options
        options.add(new selectOption('', '- None -')); 
//add the first option of '- None -' in case the user doesn't
 want to select a value or in case no values are
 returned from query below
        for(Recordtype record : [SELECT Id,Name,SobjectType FROM RecordType WHERE SobjectType = 'Opportunity') { 
//query for Record types records 
            options.add(new selectOption(
record.id, record.Name)); 
//for all records found - add them to the picklist options
        }
        return options; //return the picklist options
}

public String selectedrecordtype{get;set;}

VF Page:
  
<apex:selectList id="recordtypes" value="{!selectedrecordtype}" size="1" title="Recordtypes">
<apex:selectOptions value="{!RecordTypes}"></apex:selectOptions>
</apex:selectList>
