' I ' is singular and third person, and with Singular sub. So, We use the singular helping verb.

And, have is plural that's why it is wrong.

I think it is perfect past tense. So we use 'i had got'.

This is simple statement which expresses the relation in past but now he/she talking about and saying. Which done by him/her.

So it's Present perfect tense and correct.

We can use both "I got" and "I had got my degree in 1988".

Friends, If there is a clear mention of past time, like 1988, we should only use past Tense instead of present perfect.

Have is used for just completed actions. So simply I got is enough.

@Rakesh.

I think in 1988 means it is past tense.
