you can simply do this :

string path = "server/student/personal/contact";
//IndexOf() gives you the first occurrence of the character.
int firstSlash=path.IndexOf('/');
string modifiedPath = path.Substring(firstSlash);

I usually write something like this

string example = "server/student/personal/contact";
var paths = example.Split('/').ToList();
if (paths.Any())
{
    paths.RemoveAt(0);
}
string result = string.Join("/", paths);

or you can:

string example = "server/student/personal/contact";
var pos = example.IndexOf("/", System.StringComparison.Ordinal);
if (pos > 0)
{
    example = example.Substring(pos);
}

Try this:

string strp = "server/student/personal/contact";
strp = strp.Substring(strp.IndexOf("/"));

Output:

/student/personal/contact
