The men boarded the train at Chanan railway station and threw her out near Kiul. Some people found her near the tracks and took her to a local hospital.
She was then transferred to a government hospital in the state capital, Patna.
She has suffered fractures and serious injuries.
Senior police officer SK Singhal said at least two of the men knew the victim and lived in her neighbourhood.
Scrutiny of sexual violence in India has grown since the 2012 gang rape and murder of a student on a Delhi bus.
However, brutal sexual attacks against women and children continue to be reported from across the country.
