The biggest concern is a delay in evaluating your answer sheet. Since the version code helps link your answers to the specific question booklet you received, its absence could lead to confusion and require additional scrutiny during evaluation. This might delay the announcement of your results.

In a worst-case scenario, if there is an issue with the question papers themselves (e.g., missing questions or printing errors) and the version code is missing from your answer sheet, it might be difficult to conclusively determine which question set your answers correspond to.

The KCET authorities might need to manually verify your answer sheet by matching it with the questions in the specific version of the question booklet you received based on other details like serial number or markings.
