The investigation was carried out with 65 genotypes of Pearl millet Pennisetum americanum (L) K. Shum,, comprised of 15 parents and their 50 crosses, to know the pattern of genetic variability for twelve metric traits. The genotypes showed highly significant differences for all the characters included. Almost all the traits. had high values of heritability estimates excepting early growth vigour and grain yield. Genetic coefficient of variation was high for synchrony of tillering, flag leaf area, grain yield and grain density in a ear. Selection would be effective for synchrony of tillering, ear length, grain density and 1000 grain weight.
