If your anchor tag is not becoming blue that means routerLink is not binded with anchor tag. It is because you have not imported RouterModule.

Note : You have to import RouterModule in the the module where you have declared this component where you are adding routerLink and not in the app.module.ts. For example : if you have home.component.ts in home.module.ts and you want to use <a [routerLink]="[/student]"></a> in home.component.html then add RouterModule in home.module.ts

import {RouterModule} from '@angular/router';
@NgModule(
{ 
  ...
   import:[
     ...
       RouterModule
     ...
   ]
  ...
}
)
