Awaiting is never followed by for because it includes for in itself.

Awaiting the arrival or waiting for the arrival.

If we remove "for" the sentence is in a improper form.....

Awaiting means waiting for so awaiting for is only a redundancy.

Await means wait for substitute the terms 'wait for' instead of await. The sentence turns out to be like this students were waiting for for the arrival of chief guest. These are called errors of redundancy. The same will follow the verbs like
Return=come back.
Revert=send back.
Discuss=talk about.
Return=come back.
Revert=send back.
Discuss=talk about.

Perhaps "waiting for" could be far better option. But we are to deal with "Awaiting" here.

I think after we using await, preposition is not required.
If wait is used, the preposition is required.
(for is a preposition)
