Re: alternate circuit for zener diode

can u tell me whether i can use any other circuit in place of zener
diode,which works similar to zener diode.

Transistor junctions in reverse often "zener". But then they are
basically zener diodes at that point, and unlike the "real" ones,
you have to go through the transistors to find one with the voltage
you desire (and likely it won't be over a wide spread).
