Abstract: The present studies were conducted to the estimation of correlation for physical and chemical quality traits in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) for seventy genotypes with 100 seed weight. Most of the physical quality viz., hydration capacity, swelling capacity and swelling index are generally positively correlated among themselves and with 100-seed weight. Hydration capacity was positively correlated with hydration index, swelling caacity and cooking time. Seed volume, swelling capacity are important traits for the consumers, particularly when whole grains are consumed after soaking and cooking. The negative correlation between protein content and 100-seed weight; positive correlation between seed weight and sugars including RFOs indicate that bolder seed types are greater in causing flatulence while the smaller to medium size one had greater protein per cent
