A study was carried out in the fields of Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh during 2018-2019. Fifty one genotypes of chickpea were evaluated for means and components of variability, heritability, genetic advance and interrelationships for various parameters, direct and indirect effect of various parameters for seed yield. Characters like days to maturity, followed by number of pods per plant, number of primary branches, number of secondary branches, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, days to 50% flowering etc.. Grain yield had high positive and significant association with days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of primary branches, number of secondary branches, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per plant, biological yield and harvest index. Path coefficient analysis showed maximum direct contribution towards grain yield per plant with biological yield followed by harvest index.
