The Fermi level is normally calculated by setting the cumulative occupation
number of all bands to the number of valence electrons.
As I understand this means that Ef in semiconductor would always be
at the VBM and not in the middle of the gap?
How it could happen that Ef appeared somewhere

Hi,
till recently I though that checking the convergence of total energy vs
k-grid cutoff is enough.
However, now I've found that while total energy can be very well
converged, Fermi level position is not, and requires at least twice
denser k-grid (and ~4 times more time).
Here is my example
