Let G $G$ be a simple graph. Let Δ ( G ) ${\rm{\Delta }}(G)$ and χ ′ ( G ) $\chi ^{\prime} (G)$ be the maximum degree and the chromatic index of G $G$, respectively. We call G $G$overfullif ∣ E ( G ) ∣ ∕ ⌊ ∣ V ( G ) ∣ ∕ 2 ⌋ > Δ ( G ) $| E(G)| \unicode{x02215}\lfloor | V(G)| \unicode{x02215}2\rfloor \gt {\rm{\Delta }}(G)$, andcriticalif χ ′ ( H ) < χ ′ ( G ) $\chi ^{\prime} (H)\lt \chi ^{\prime} (G)$ for every proper subgraph H $H$ of G $G$. Clearly, if G $G$ is overfull then χ ′ ( G ) = Δ ( G ) + 1 $\chi ^{\prime} (G)={\rm{\Delta }}(G)+1$. Thecoreof G $G$, denoted by G Δ ${G}_{{\rm{\Delta }}}$, is the subgraph of G $G$ induced by all its maximum degree vertices. We believe that utilizing the core degree condition could be considered as an approach to attack the overfull conjecture. Along this direction, we in this paper show that for any integer k ≥ 2 $k\ge 2$, if G $G$ is critical with Δ ( G ) ≥ 2 3 n + 3 k 2 ${\rm{\Delta }}(G)\ge \frac{2}{3}n+\frac{3k}{2}$ and δ ( G Δ ) ≤ k $\delta ({G}_{{\rm{\Delta }}})\le k$, then G $G$ is overfull.
