you should always use orbitals and orbital energies obtained at optimized geometry.

From your output:

E(HOMO)=-0.2316    E(LUMO)= -0.1198
HOMO-LUMO gap = 0.1118 au = 3.04219 eV

Kind regards,

However as far as literature goes, I should have got ~ 3 eV. As it a sngle TiO2 molecule, gap should have opened.
