According to the MPL Rulebook Surana IT was a Tier V moot. In that case how come Tier !V points have been allocated to this moot?

No, I believe it's a Tier 4 moot according to rulebook:

Hi Kian,

Although this might be their first true win,'School of Law, SASTRA University' had made its way into the past 2-3 Seasons of MPL too with points from Moots like Surana Trial Advocacy and SOEL's Pro Bono. Please contact their MCC for details.

Cheers!
