I'm from India, got my acceptance in German university. In all my study documents and passport my father name is :RAMA, but while filling out Visa application there is column for Father's surname. Is it necessary to fill out the application with my father's surname or should I leave it blank.

If you know the answer to a question, then answer it.
If you do not know the answer, leave it blank.
- never give an answer that you know to be false
In this case, you know the answer, so answer it.
Since it is possible that a childs surname is different than their fathers surname, the question is (for them) relevent.
Whether it makes sense or not is irrelevant
- they want it, you give it
if not, they may refuse you the visa.
Based on the student visa application found here (german and english)
https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/newsroom/buergerservice-faq-kontakt/faq/08-studentenvisum/606218
At the end of the form it is stated: that the form must be completed to the best of their knowledge and belief
Any
- false
- refused
- incomplete
information can lead to refusal of a visa or if found out later expulsion.
In such matters it is wise (in my opinion) to always keep the old saying in mind:
- Ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die
