The YMCA movement came to India in 1854 in Kolkata.  In New Delhi it was started in 1927.  In the initial years the New Delhi YMCA provided secretarial training to young men and women.  Today the YMCA runs four institutes of professional courses.  They are 1. Institute for Media Studies and Information Technology (IMSIT), 2. Institute of Management Studies (IMS), 3. Institute for Office Management (IOM) and 4. Institute for Career Studies (ICS).

The IMSIT was started as the Centre for Mass Media (CMM) in 1984. It was given its present name in 2000 when it was merged with Centre for Graphics Art Designing (CGAD) to conduct media courses with Information Technology courses.
