Here the time in 1980 is mentioned. It is a past tense. So I got should be.

Here, time is mentioned when he got his degree. So it is a past tense.

But had is also past tense right. So why shouldn't we use had received?

"have" is present perfect tens while he got his degree in 1988 which is past so, it does not agree the tense.

Are we not supposed to use "I had received"?

Since the year is mentioned. Second form of verb will be used! Words like ago, yesterday, last year, last day, etc are used with second form of verb.

I hope that in this sentence since/for not use so got is right.

Have got is present perfect which needs immediate finishing or usage of since or for otherwise its simple past.
