@ChristianHupfer Sure, but it is a university's requirement. – Amir Jun 07 '17 at 10:29

Please try with the below code:
\newcommand\section{\@startsection {section}{1}{12\p@}%
{-12\p@}%
{6\p@}
{\normalsize\raggedright}}

@Johannes_B If you think of the
\startsectionmacro you may have a look at this link: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/31780/where-can-i-find-help-files-or-documentation-for-commands-like-startsection-fo – Jürgen Jun 07 '17 at 10:56 -

Yes, so I was quite surprised. ;-) I simply overlooked the
\asecdimenand\bsecdimen. – Jürgen Jun 07 '17 at 11:51 -

You have all my sympathy: university requirements are so silly, sometimes!
If your sections and subsections are always numbered, you can do
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@seccntformat[1]{\hspace*{\parindent}\csname the#1\endcsname\quad}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
Some text to show the indentation in the first line
Some text to show the indentation in the first line
Some text to show the indentation in the first line
\section{Test}
\subsection{Test}
Some text to show the indentation in the first line
Some text to show the indentation in the first line
Some text to show the indentation in the first line
\end{document}
