Dear student,
Melting point is the characteristic of solids, hence its always high symmetry of the solid which decides high melting point .
Melting point, unlike boiling point, is a solid state property and hence is influenced by properties of solids such as amorphous or crystalline nature, allotropy, polymorphism, molecular symmetry, as additional and more important factors than intermolecular forces.
