Awaiting means "waiting for" so the word "for" is not needed over here.

Waiting is correct. It can be awaiting in case if there is adverb before it like eagerly awaiting for the arrival.

Yeah, "awaiting for" is not the right way. Rather it would be correct to use "waiting for" or "awaiting".

Why can't we use "wait for" instead of "await for"?

The answer is "awaiting" and it is meaningless if it is "awaiting for" as 'awaiting' and 'waiting for' both means the same.

Await = wait for.
So there is no need of preposition after awaiting. Awaiting itself gives waiting for.

Here students were expecting chief guest but they were not waiting for the chief guest. Wait means to delay that action or event before someone arrive this sentence is telling just the state that students are expecting to see chief minister.
