  Let $G=G_1 \times G_2$ be a finite group. We know that the second cohomology
group $H^2(G,\mathbb C^\times)$ is isomorphic to $H^2(G_1,\mathbb C^\times)
\times H^2(G_2,\mathbb C^\times) \times Hom(G_1/G_1' \otimes_\mathbb Z
G_2/G_2', \mathbb C^\times ).$ A $2$-cocycle $\alpha$ of $G$ is called a
bilinear cocycle if the corresponding cohomology class $[\alpha]$ of
$H^2(G,\mathbb C^\times)$ lies in $Hom(G_1/G_1' \otimes_\mathbb Z G_2/G_2',
\mathbb C^\times)$. In this article, our aim is to construct an irreducible
complex projective representation $\rho$ of $G$ for bilinear cocycles $\alpha$.
If $G_1$ is any abelian $p$-group and $G_2$ is an elementary abelian $p$-group,
then we give a construction of $\rho$ for bilinear cocycles $\alpha$ of $G$.
For a subgroup $H$ of $G$ of index $\leq p^2$, we also count the number of
cohomology classes $[\alpha]$ for which the irreducible projective
representations behave the same while restricting on $H$. Finally, we consider
any $p$-group $G=G_1\times G_2$, and we discuss how the above construction
helps us to describe an irreducible $\alpha$-representation of $G$ when
$[\alpha]$ is of order $p$ or $G_2/G_2'$ is elementary abelian. We also discuss
several examples as an application of the above results.
