I like this idea. I HATE the homework, because one look at my resume tells you that even if half of it's true, I've been around the block and can pick up anything that doesn't actually require specializing in it since 2000 when I started working professionally out of college (as opposed to co-op jobs where I also did IT). And very little in IT fits that bill. IT hiring processes are part of the reason I took a sabbatical in 2016. I didn't have time for all this homework plus networking and interviews all for finding a new job on top of a new baby and a stressful day job. Of my four eventual job offers, yes four, so I was clearly in demand, only one even had homework, and it was a short online logic quiz, not even coding. Everything else was phone/in person interviews. Screw your homework. If you really need it, this article has a good mitigation plan.
