Abstract: Sixty genotypes of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern and Coss] were evaluated in Randomized Block Design during Rabi season 2019-20 to study the correlation and path coefficient analysis among fourteen quantitative traits. The correlation of seed yield per plant was observed positive and significant with number of siliquae per plant, harvest index and number of siliquae on main axis. It was positive and non-significant with days to 50% flowering, number of seeds per siliqua, days to maturity, oil content and 1000-seed weight. Positive direct effect towards seed yield per plant was reflected both at genotypic and phenotypic level through harvest index, number of siliquae on main axis, 1000-seed weight, number of seeds per siliqua, oil content, and days to maturity.
