You can use
window.location.pathname
for this.

For the url in this question it returns

/questions/28946447/how-to-get-only-the-controller-name-and-action-name-from-url-with-jquery

To read it properly you can use: window.location.pathname.split(/)

Read the value with:

var url = window.location.pathname.split(/);
