Why sometimes score calculation is in terms of time penalty whereas sometimes its the points achieved?
Like in the recent Div 3 round it was time penalty as the score whereas in Div 2 it was points of the questions.

The model where points are used is because they want to weight the problems. In the other model all problems count equal.
