Several limit laws for the Zagreb indices of the classical Erdös–Rényi random graphs are investigated in this paper. We have obtained the necessary and sufficient condition for the asymptotic normality of the two Zagreb indices (suitably normalized), as well as the explicit values for the means and variances of both the indices. Besides, the limiting joint distribution of the numbers of paths of various lengths is also studied under several conditions.
