The present investigation on variability parameters, correlation and path analysis for different characteristics in germplasm of black gram [Vigna mungo (L.) was undertaken during Summer-2019. Evaluation of 30 genotypes revealed moderate genetic advance as % of mean for no. of primary branches/plant, and grain yield per plant, therefore, selection may be effective for these characters. Number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod at genotypic as well as phenotypic level showed positive significant correlation with seed yield per plant. Days to 50% flowering, number of branches per plant, 100 seed weight, harvest index showed positive direct effect on seed yield per plant at phenotypic and genotypic level
