I am going to make a software project for a retail shop.
(The Point of Sale management system).

It's a college project so I cant use swap card machine, bar code reader etc. so is there any other option for making this software as just a dummy project but up to the mark for exam point of view?

If you want to get good marks in your exam you should not try to do a 'dummy project' but write a proper application.

Have a go, you might find its not that bad! :)

But you can do other things except the device things.

As a college project do the following things:

Prepare specification for the Point of sale application. (POS system have the things Item master, KOT, Bill, Settlement, etc)
Prepare documentation.
Develop database.
Create project, make UIs & write code.
Mention in the document about future enhancements(swap card machine,bar code reader)

After all you can submit your project there. All the best.

Maybe you can't use a real swipe card or barcode reader, but what is stopping you from using dummy ones? It's what we do in the real world when we don't have access to the real kit yet...

Just add a dummy form that lets you select the card you swipe, or the product you scan. After all, there (pretty much) isn't a shop in existence that doesn't use both swipe cards, and barcodes - so if your app doesn't either, then it isn't a very realistic project!
