Getting a degree after cheating in the exams

Q: If I am cheating in my exam fully, after getting a degree, if I apply for a job which requires the degree to sit in a company and if I get the job based on my skills, will I take someone else's huqooq away?

A: If you have the knowledge and are able to fulfil the task which you are employed for, then your earnings will be halaal.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
