Black Bengal goats from Instructional Farm Small ruminants, Birsa agricultural university were utilized by short term lymphocyte culture technique. The diploid chromosome no was found to be 60, XY consisting of 29 pairs of acrocentric autosomes and a pair of allosomes. The X chromosome was the longest and Y chromosome was suspected to be sub metacentric. The mean relative length of autosome ranged from5.22±0.03 to 1.92±0.02 percent and relative length of X and Y chromosomes were 5.76±0.05 and 1.47±0.03, respectively. The effect of sex was significant on relative length of some of the autosome.
