We consider the scalar conservation law with strict convex flux in one space dimension. In this paper we study the exact controllability of entropy solution by using initial or boundary data control. Some partial results have been obtained in [5],[23]. Here we investigate the precise conditions under which, the exact controllability problem admits a solution. The basic ingredients in the proof of these results are, Lax-Oleinik [15] explicit formula and finer properties of the characteristics curves.
