Genotypic and phenotypic variability, heritability, genetic advance for grain yield and different quantitative characters were conducted in ten genotypes of pearl millet. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance for plant height, grain yield and panicle length revealed the influence of additive gene effect is important in determining these characters. High heritability with low genetic advance for number of tillers per plant, inter nodal length and days to 50% flowering indicated the influence of dominant and epistatic genes for these attributes. Grain yield had positive and significant correlation with number of tillers per plant and panicle length.
