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

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

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

"I got" is the correct answer.
Reason: I have got means the possession of the degree now.
But, I got, means the degree was obtained from somewhere, someday long ago.
