Many of Thursday's blasts were in crowded markets in the state. And many bombs were hidden in motorcycles or scooters.
Firefighters doused the smoldering remains of cars and motorcycles at one of the blast sites in Guwahati, a major city of Assam.
One of the bombs targeted a high security zone containing courts as well as offices and homes of senior police officials.
Local media said curfew was imposed in Guwahati after crowds angry at the blasts attacked police and set cars on fire.
