I have a requirement where I have to display two different Page layouts of Contact depending on a field's Picklist Value. Contact will always be created by a System Administrator so I cant assign different page layouts to different Roles or Profiles. How to achieve the same.? Thanks in advance

1If I have understood correctly, you are looking for Record Types. Have a look at help.salesforce.com/… – highfive Sep 10 '14 at 10:45
All you need to have is differenet recordtypes for different picklist values and then from Page layout assignment add page layouts to the profiles and recordtypes

Could you please help me with the same. Records will always be created with System Admin profile, so I cant add differnt page layouts to different profiles. – Salesforce Learner Sep 10 '14 at 16:43

it doesn't matter which profile is creating the records. In that custom object definition, just create 2 recordtypes each for the selected picklist values. And then from pagelayout assignment you can assign in this way: Profile1->rectype1->pagelayout1. Recordtype here is working as a bridge between Profile and picklist selection – Testing_SFDC Sep 10 '14 at 17:32
