Thanks Sir Xavier, 
but the problem is this that both DOS and band structre showing totally opposite behaviour.
my system is graphene with some doping of Boron nitride.
DOS is good as we expect but band structure shows really strange behaviour. graphene  has zero bandgap in brillioun zone at K point and when i used graphene with BN, we obtain some ferromagnetic at M point when we plot band structure.
 
i don't know whats wrong with band structure.

The band gap estimated from the DOS is always larger than the one extracted from the band structure (which is more accurate). 
To estimate the fundamental band gap you should consider the one
    deduced from the band structure. 

The difference you observed is certainly due to the existence of a
    broad band which has a very low density near the Fermi energy. As a
    consequence, you can have the feeling that you have a gap by looking
    at the DOS. 

Could you give more details about your calculations ? Which system ?
    The value of the band gap from the DOS ? 

Regards

Xavier

DOS shows that it has some band gap but in band structure it shows that it is metallic. I don't know what is the problem in this and why DOS and Band structure is inconsistent with each other.
