How to pass query string parameter with ActionLink in MVC

Below is my Razor syntax. I am trying to pass the s.StudentId via query string. The first <div> tag works fine, and I wanted to practice a little bit with ActionLink.

When the page loads in the browser, the links generated are:

1st div: http://localhost:57707/Students/Edit/?_studentId=1
2nd div: http://localhost:57707/Students/Edit?Length=8

What am I doing wrong inside the ActionLink, and why is it defaulting to Length=8?

@foreach (Student s in studentList)
{
    <div>@s.Email <a href="/Students/Edit/?_studentId=@s.StudentId">Edit</a></div> // Using query string to pass params

    <div>@s.Email @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", "Students", new { _studentId = s.StudentId })</div>}
}

<div>@s.Email <a href="/Students/Edit/?_studentId=@s.StudentId">Edit</a></div> // Using query string to pass params

Should be

<div>@s.Email <a href="/Students/Edit?_studentId=@s.StudentId">Edit</a></div> // Using query string to pass params

can you post controller method for Edit of student, I think you have a parameter name length over there.
