the students start the meeting even before the scheduled time. only presenter should start it.
Participants are able to start a scheduled meeting before the scheduled time, even if none of them are the presenter. It gives them a chance to indulge in unnecessary discussion. Is there any method ...
- Currently it is not possible to stop them from joining the meeting early. It is like they meet outside of the classroom and talk before you open up the classroom.
But Microsoft is working on a feature that will force everyone to wait in the lobby until a presenter opens up the meeting and admit lobby users to join. This comes from a uservoice request that you can vote for to make this feature come faster.

Hi Saji_Mannval
Yes currently there is no feature available to restrict the students from starting the meeting. Microsoft is working on the same and they would be releasing the feature soon on the same.
WorkAround:-
1. You can schedule a Normal Outlook Meeting Invite without the Teams Invitation
2. Just before the start of the call you can send the meeting invite via email or send the same in the Microsoft Teams Channel.
The above steps will be not be an ideal solution for your requirement but it would prevent the students from indulging in unnecessary discussion.
Let me know if this helps.
With Regards.
