Abstract: We associate a graph $mathcal{N}_G$ with a group $G$ (called the non-nilpotent graph of $G$) as follows: take $G$ as the vertex set and two vertices are adjacent if they generate a non-nilpotent subgroup. In this paper we study the graph theoretical properties of $mathcal{N}_G$ and its induced subgraph on $$, where $nil(G)=xinG|<x,y>extisnilpotentforallyinG$. For any finite group $G$, we prove that $mathcal{N}_G$ has either $|Z^{\ast }(G)|$ or $|Z^{\ast }(G)|+1$ connected components, where $Z^{\ast }(G)$ is the hypercenter of $G$. We give a new characterization for finite nilpotent groups in terms of the non-nilpotent graph. In fact we prove that a finite group $G$ is nilpotent if and only if the set of vertex degrees of $mathcal{N}_G$ has at most two elements.
