Entrance For Civil Services (IAS / IRS / IPS)

We have the CAT exam (an aptitude test) for entry into MBA programs. And hiring and job placements happen based on one's performance during their MBA program. Likewise, universities in USA use aptitude tests (SAT, GRE) for admission into undergraduate and postgraduate programs in universities.

Why not have a similar entrance mechanism for a Post Graduate Program in Civil Services (IAS, IRS, IPS, IFS), provide the requisite training over two years to those who clear this entrance exam/interview, and then hire based on performance during the two year program?

Basically check aptitude, train, evaluate, hire.

I think that might be better than the present mechanism wherein the preparation required for the Civil Services entrance is so intense that students often go for extended coaching for the same and do not pay complete attention to their present academic programs.
