Is there any university entrance exam or test I need to take in UK for a Master's?

For most UK master's programs, you do not need to take a separate university entrance exam. The main requirement is to prove your English proficiency, usually through IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE Academic.
Some specialized programs may ask for additional tests such as GMAT (business), GRE (certain STEM or social sciences), or LNAT (law), depending on the university and course.
Since you have a strong academic profile and are interested in a UK master's, you will likely only need an English proficiency test.
