How to calculate education history and work experience for those completed degree after passing out.

Hello good people, I need some guidance.
Here is my situation :
I went to college (engineering) from 2006 to 2010. When I completed my course in 2010 , I had some more papers to pass , so I received only a course completion certificate.
I worked full time from 2011 to 2015 as a programmer.
I kept writing the failed exams in between, and received the degree in 2015 (yay!)
So , do I keep my education as [2006 - 2010] or [2006 - 2015] ?

Also, if I keep it as 2015, will it affect my experience calculation ? I have currently considered 4 years I worked from 2011 to 2015 in my profile.

It wouldn't make very much sense to report that you stopped studying in 2011 then suddenly earned a degree in 2015. That would raise some flags.

You studied between 2006-2015.

The impact on your work experience depends on a number of factors. If you are trying to qualify through CEC stream, then you probably cannot count that experience. If your NOC says that you typically need a degree to perform the duties, then you probably cannot count that experience.

Thank you for the response. You are right, 2006-2015 makes sense.
I am trying to make it through Express entry.
My NOC does mention typically requires a degree . If my experience before graduation becomes invalid, it is going to put a dent in my plans - I have only 1.5 years experience post graduation
Any ideas as to how I can confirm this ?
If no, then what would you advice I do with regards to my application : should I put an experience of 5 years and wait for the response(risking rejection) or go with 1.5 years(the safer one) ?
