Police said a couple and a child were killed when the bomb went off around 1730 hrs (IST) in the new parking area for cars and autorickshaws in front of the station.
The injured have been rushed to Mahendra Mohan Choudhury Hospital, Chief Public Relations Officer of North East Frontier Railways, T Rabha said.
"We believe the bomb was planted by the ULFA," Rabha added.
The bomb was kept in a cycle rickshaw near the station.
The blast came three days after a bomb attack on a train in neighbouring West Bengal that killed seven people.
It was also the second blast in the heart of the city.
Fifteen people had died in two blasts in busy markets here on November 5.
There has been a surge in violence in the strife-torn state after the Centre called off a temporary ceasefire with ULFA about three months ago.
The ULFA has been blamed for a series of blasts across Assam in recent weeks that targeted markets and key installations like oil pipelines.
