Twenty-six genetically diverse genotypes of chickpea were studied for genotypic and phenotypic variability, heritability and genetic advance in 12 quantitative traits including seed yield per plant. Pods per plant exhiblted highest amount of genetic variability followed by secondary branches per plant, seed yield per piant, 100-seed, Wiehgt, seeds per pod, plant, height and biological yield per plant. Pods per plant also expressed highest heritability and expected genetic advance.
