I have passed my obu project recently but the college that provided me with mentor services is asking for my passed project. will I be subject to plagiarism if in the next attempt, someone copies my project? should I refuse them what is your suggestion?

You would be wise to refuse to give them this because if your work is replicated by another student you could be contacted over potential plagiarism. Obviously your work will have been submitted first and therefore the other person is more likely to be suspected but it could cause you unnecessary stress proving your innocence.
Basically the mentor should not be retaining copies of students’ work after the submission without the students’ full permission – so are at liberty to point this out and refuse their request unless you are satisfied with their motive.
