Examinations in ancient Pakistan and Indian Subcontinent

[W.11]

were school examinations held in ancient times in south asia/indian subcontinent.

the following wikipedia article only states chinese used examination in their civil service.

But i think there is one chinese/Xuanzang reference to test held at Nalanda before he was inducted into the university which according to the narrator was very tough.

Are there any more references regarding examination in ancient India?

Some of the earliest universities came from Taxila, so I'd assume so.
