and I wonder what you mean.

The Fermi energy calculated by PWscf for an insulator can be anywhere in 
the gap. Its exact location is unpredictable, irrelevant, and has no meaning
anyway. The phisical Fermi energy for intrinsic semiconductors is located 
in the middle of the band gap (this is a textbook problem, by the way).

the Fermi energy for metals is correctly calculated (within the chosen
approximation). For semiconductors and metals, see above

hi, there is one DOC-def folder in pwscf and there is one file of making the 
inputs file for SCF calucltaion, there u will find the meaning of all the 
parameters likhe ecut_conv_thr etc

Hi
Can anybody please tell me the difference meaning of ecut_conv_thr and 
forc_conv_thr

Dear Sharma,

Please have a look a /Doc/INPUT_PW.txt  and example files in /examples. You 
will be surprized, there are lots of examples. 

Bests,
Eyvaz.
