Applying dimensional analysis
S EaVbTc
M1L0T-2= k M1L2T-2a L1 T-1bT1c M1L0 T-2 = kMaL2aT-2aLbT-bT-c
Comparison
a=1 2a+b= 0 b=-2 -2=-2a-b+c -2=-2(1)+2+c c=-2
So, the dimensional formula for surface tension will be[E1V-2T-2]
Alternate solution : 
Surface Tension =Surface energyArea [Surface tension] =EV.T2= EV-2T-2
