Is it possible to allow users to log in with a different role?

For eg. I've one user having two roles one is "Mentor" and second is "Mentee" with different access on the front end.

And now I want to create login where a user can select a role to log in with. If the user will select "Mentor" will able to access all feature this role and vice versa. So a user has to select a role to login so they can access website features according to selected role.

Any help will be appreciated.

When you register a user keep 2 rule as select or radio button, And keep save the rule in the database. also, keep rule option in login, When the login checks the rule and give what access you want to give.

For access keep a condition in top of each page like 'if user rule == ***' else 'You are not allowed to visit the page'
