Does anyone know how can i get the detailed description about bios settings using proc filesystem. I know commands like dmidecode can provide information about bios but they provide very limited information.

The hwinfo package can provide a great level of detail regarding your BIOS. I just compared its output with the one dmidecode provides with:
# diff -ub <(dmidecode --type bios) <(hwinfo --bios)| less
Check hwinfo(8) manpage for more options.

dmidecode is a wrapper for biosdecode, what can't you find with dmidecode?
you can read some more hardware information from proc by installing hwinfo or lshw
