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.

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.

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

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

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.
