It would help to know how far along you are in physics, and what courses, if any, you have taken in chem eng. – aparente001 Jan 15 '17 at 14:18

I am a fresher in Chemical Engineering dept. our classes will start from 25 th of February . I am currently doing Classical mechanics from Taylor and Linear algebra from Strang's book . Also i covered some topics from Griffits's Electrodynamics . – Shaikot Jahan Shuvo Jan 15 '17 at 16:00

it would be good to add whether you are just switching departments at your same institution, or needing to change schools as well. Also, indicate your background i theoretical physics. – Jennifer Rae Pierce Jan 15 '17 at 16:17

You will need to speak to the different departments on this. You may lose credit for the classes you have already taken in Chem. Engineering since the two fields are different. It is not "impossible", however, these two department might have different requirements for admissions, so you may not be admitted to the Theoretical Physics program. Again, best to speak to your adviser and the departments.
