What is the difference between legislative assembly and legislative council?

@Deepika every state have own legislative assembly but only 6 state in India have legislative council. In simple words legislative assembly means vidhanshaba and council means vidhanparishad.

The member of the rajya sabha are elected by legislative assembly.

What are the 6 states which have mlc seats?

The Vidhan Parishad (or Legislative Council) is the upper house in those states of India that have a bicameral legislature. As of 2011, Seven (out of twenty-nine) states have a Legislative Council: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Assam. Union Cabinet has cleared the State of Assam to form a Legislative Council in December 2013. In 2010 the Parliament of India passed an Act to re-establish a Legislative Council for an eighth state, Tamil Nadu, but implementation of the Act has been put on hold pending legal action; the state government has also expressed its opposition to the council's revival.

Assam has not legislative council. Only 6 states having MLC.
