The process is after clearing LL.B. first enrolment with the State Bar Council. Then clear the AIBE.
If this has been done, yes, one can appear before the SC on behalf of the client.

Advocates on Roll f Supreme Court can only take up cases in SCI, however, any Advocate can assist him and can file his Vakaltnama along-with him.

The AORs are required only for the purpose of filing the cases and for removal of deficiencies etc. The cause list will also show only the name of the AOR against each of the cases before the SC. But, any Advocate having Vakalatnama can make an appearance. There is no restriction in this regard. The requirement of AOR is limited only for the purpose of filing.

NEW DELHI, June 16, 2011 Now, lawyers can practise in all courts
Legal Correspondent
Share · Comment · print · T+ Now, lawyers can practise, as a matter of right, in all courts and forums, including tribunals or any quasi-judicial authority.
Fifty years after the Advocates Act, 1961, came into force, the Centre has notified Section 30 of the Act — with effect from Wednesday — to enable advocates to practise anywhere.
This provision was not notified when the Act was added to the statute book. As a result, in certain courts and tribunals, lawyers could appear only if they were permitted by the presiding officer.
The long-pending demand of lawyers for notifying this Section was fulfilled, thanks to Union Law Minister Veerappa Moily's initiative.
Section 30 says: “Subject to the provisions of this Act, every advocate shall be entitled as of right to practise throughout the territories to which this Act extends; in all courts including the Supreme Court; before any tribunal or person legally authorised to take evidence; and before any other authority or person before whom such advocate is by or under any law for the time being in force entitled to practise.”
In an interaction earlier this month with The Hindu, Mr. Moily said he would take immediate steps to get Section 30 notified.
The government issued the Gazette Notification on June 9. It said: “The Central government hereby appoints June 15, 2011 as the date on which Section of the Advocates Act shall come into force.”
All-India Bar Association chairman Adish Aggarwala and vice-chairman S. Prabhakaran, who is also a Member of the Bar Council of India, have welcomed the Centre's decision and thanked Mr. Moily for conceding the long-pending demand of lawyers.
