Studies on genetic variability, correlations and path coefficient analysis in 40 diverse genotypes of black seeded sesame revealed wide range of variability for plant height, branches per plant, seed yield and capsules per plant, high heritability for protein and oil content, days to maturity, days to flower; and high genetic advance for plant height, branches per plant, seed yield, days to flower, capsules per plant and protein content. Seed yield with capsules per plant, capsule length, capsule girth and seeds per capsule; and oil-content with days to flower and maturity, plant height and capsules per plant showed significant and positive genotypic correlations. Path coefficient analysis revealed days to maturity, branches per plant and copsule grith as major components for seed yield, and branches per plant, capsule grith and seeds per capsule as major conponents for oll content in black seeded sesame.
