All the students have to participate in the conference.
All students have to participate in the conference.

---> is there any difference in meaning between "all the students" and "all students"?

'The' refers to some specific students in the context; however, in most cases, 'all' is by nature inclusive, so that either form works.

Students: Are you brave enough to let our tutors analyse your pronunciation?
THey both mean the same thing, they are both correct.

All student is more general than All the students.
thank you for your reply!
I have one more question.
Could the word- "ALL" modify sg. noun form? For example.... "all student" and " all the student" ??
Not likely. 'All the sugar'; 'All belief'. But I suppose 'all the cow is edible' is possible.
