Present perfect tense shouldn't be used with time. (If time is mentioned like a week ago, yesterday, year).

I received my M.Sc degree in 1988 is it correct? If wrong why?

Here we should use "I got". As you can see the word got itself is a past tense.

Where do we use Past tense?- The action was completed at some point in the past that no longer touches the present.
Present perfect- The perfect is the just the opposite:it emphasizes the on-going connection between the past and the present.
And in this question, that event no longer touches the present that's why we are using past tense instead of present perfect.

If in the sentence in 1988, last year, weak ect. Word uses we use simple past.

According to grammar rules we should use "I got "only because he mentioned in the sentence, time (in 1998).
So it is simple past. SUB+V2 only.
The correct sentence is I GOT MY DEGREE IN 1988.
So it is simple past. SUB+V2 only.
The correct sentence is I GOT MY DEGREE IN 1988.

Have represented present tense and had is past tense.

'I got' is correct. It is in simple past.
If we say 'I have got' we are saying that we just now received, may be an instance before.
Example: I have had my lunch. Here 'had' represents simple past.

As it is simple past tense sub + v2 should be there, so I got.
